Overview: HCR 1002 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the state legislature on November 20, 2024. It aims to revoke previous actions related to Article V of the U.S. Constitution, which outlines the process for amending the Constitution.
Purpose and Intent: The resolution seeks to withdraw the state's prior applications and communications to Congress regarding calling for a constitutional convention under Article V. The stated intent is to prevent the state from being counted toward the required number of states needed to trigger a convention.
Key Provisions:
- Revokes all previous actions, applications, and communications from the state related to calling for an Article V constitutional convention
- Directs the Secretary of State to notify Congress and other states of the state's withdrawal of prior Article V applications
Affected Parties and Impacts: This resolution would impact the state's role in the Article V amendment process, potentially reducing the likelihood of a constitutional convention being called. It could also influence the actions and considerations of other states and the U.S. Congress regarding Article V.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: HCR 1002 has been authored by Representative Olsen and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. As a concurrent resolution, it requires passage by both chambers of the legislature but does not require the governor's signature to take effect.
