HCR 7 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A concurrent resolution applying to the Congress of the United States to call a convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress.

This House Concurrent Resolution formally requests the United States Congress to convene a constitutional convention under Article V of the Constitution. The proposal asks for specific amendments designed to limit federal spending, reduce federal jurisdiction, and cap the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress. It does not enact new laws directly but serves as a procedural step to initiate a broader change to the nation's founding document. The resolution was introduced by Representative Luke Meerman and referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
