HCR 61 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Calls for an Article V convention of states to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution

This bill asks the U.S. Congress to hold a special meeting of state representatives to propose a change to the Constitution. The goal is to remove the federal government's power to collect income taxes, which the bill argues violates the original balance of power between the federal government and the states. To achieve this, the bill directs Missouri to formally request that Congress call a limited convention specifically for repealing the Sixteenth Amendment. It also instructs state officials to send copies of this request to federal leaders and other state legislators to help gather the necessary support from two-thirds of the states.
