applying for a convention of the states under Article V of the Constitution of the United States.

New Hampshire's HCR 16 is a concurrent resolution applying to Congress for a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically seeks to propose a constitutional amendment setting term limits for U.S. House and Senate members. The resolution states that New Hampshire's application will be aggregated with similar applications from other states to reach the required 2/3 majority of states. This is a procedural step to advance the term limits proposal, not a law affecting current representatives or voters.
