Bill Summary

Rescinds all previous applications for Article V conventions made by the Missouri legislature to Congress

AI Summary

This resolution, passed by the Missouri legislature, rescinds all previous requests made by the state to the U.S. Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The legislature expresses concern that a convention, even if initially called for a specific purpose like a balanced budget amendment, might not be legally bound to that single issue and could potentially propose harmful changes to the Constitution. Therefore, this resolution formally cancels any prior applications and asks that this action be officially recorded.
