Bill > SJR51

This joint resolution, passed by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, formally requests the United States Congress to convene a convention of the states, as provided for in Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose of this convention would be to propose amendments to the Constitution aimed at imposing financial limits on the federal government, restricting its authority and scope of power, and establishing term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution cites concerns about the national debt, federal overreach into state matters, and a perceived departure from the Constitution's original intent as reasons for this action, asserting that it is the duty of the states to protect liberty for future generations. The Secretary of State is directed to send copies of this resolution to various federal officials and the presiding officers of other state legislatures to encourage their cooperation, and this application will remain in effect until at least two-thirds of the states have made similar requests.
