ARTICLE V CONVENTION – States findings of the Legislature and requests that Congress call a convention for proposing amendments under Article V of the Constitution of the United States.

Idaho's HCR 25 is a legislative resolution requesting Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention to propose a specific amendment. The amendment would require the federal government to balance its annual budget (spending not exceeding revenue) in non-emergency years, with exceptions for national emergencies. This resolution is Idaho's formal application under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, seeking to join other states in pressuring Congress to propose this amendment. It does not change current law but initiates a process requiring 34 states to trigger a convention for this specific proposal.
