Calls for a convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States

This bill is a concurrent resolution from the New York State Legislature that formally requests the U.S. Congress to call a constitutional convention. Under Article V of the Constitution, states can apply for such a convention to propose amendments when two-thirds of state legislatures agree on the same subject. The resolution specifically asks for a convention limited to proposing amendments that would impose fiscal limits on the federal government, restrict federal power and jurisdiction, and limit the terms of office for members of Congress and other federal officials. If approved, the New York Secretary of State will send copies of this application to federal officials and other state legislatures to track progress toward the required two-thirds threshold.
