To repeal the 17th amendment to the U.S. Constitution

HCR 74 is a West Virginia state resolution urging Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically requests a convention limited to proposing an amendment to repeal the 17th Amendment, which established the direct popular election of U.S. Senators (replacing state legislature selection). The resolution states West Virginia joins other states in this effort, noting applications on this topic will be counted together to meet the two-thirds state requirement for a convention. This is a procedural request - it does not repeal the 17th Amendment or change voting rules, but seeks to initiate the constitutional process for such a change.
