SJR 3 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to call a convention of the states to propose certain amendments to the United States Constitution. (BDR R-546)

Nevada's SJR 3 is a resolution urging Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It requests the convention propose amendments to impose fiscal limits on the federal government, reduce federal power over states, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress. The resolution states Nevada's position that the federal government has exceeded constitutional bounds through excessive spending, unfunded mandates, and improper interpretation. As a procedural request, it does not create new law but asks Congress to initiate a process that would require support from two-thirds of state legislatures to proceed.
