Applying for a convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution relating to fiscal restraints on the federal government, the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit terms of office for federal officials and for members of congress.

Washington's SJM 8011 is a state application requesting Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V. It seeks amendments to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit federal power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and Congress members. The bill explicitly prohibits the convention from considering changes to the Bill of Rights and specifies that Congress may only perform a ministerial duty to call the convention once two-thirds of states apply for the same purpose. This is a procedural request by Washington state to initiate a process for potential constitutional amendments, not a law itself.
