AZ HCR2010

Arizona Legislature formally applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention of states limited to proposing amendments addressing fiscal restraints on the federal government, federal power and jurisdiction, and term limits for federal officials and members of Congress.

This application serves as a continuing application in accordance with Article V until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications on the same subjects.

The application is automatically revoked retroactively if used to call or support a convention for any purpose other than imposing fiscal restraints, limiting federal power and jurisdiction, or limiting congressional terms of office.

Arizona delegates to any convention are instructed not to support term limits for members of Congress that would restrict their service to fewer than 12 years in any given office.

The Arizona Secretary of State must transmit copies of this resolution to the President, Congress, Arizona's U.S. Representatives and Senators, and presiding officers of all state legislatures.
