Resolution for Article V of US Constitution convention of states
This Montana joint resolution formally applies to Congress for a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, specifically requesting that states meet to propose amendments addressing federal power. The bill directs the state secretary of state to send copies of this application to federal officials and other state legislatures, establishing Montana's official request for the convention. The resolution specifies that the convention should be limited to proposing amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit federal power and jurisdiction, and restrict terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress. This measure continues Montana's application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications on the same subject.
