AI Summary
- Florida applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention limited to proposing an amendment requiring that, absent a national emergency, total federal appropriations for any fiscal year may not exceed total estimated federal revenues for that year
- The application is intended to conform with and be aggregated with similar single-subject balanced budget amendment applications already submitted by 26 other states, for the purpose of reaching the two-thirds threshold required to call a convention
- The application may not be aggregated with convention applications on any other subject and remains a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have applied on the same subject
- The resolution is automatically revoked, withdrawn, and nullified retroactive to its date of passage if it is used to call or support a convention with any agenda beyond the balanced budget amendment
- Copies of the application are to be sent to the U.S. President, the President of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the U.S. House, all Florida members of Congress, and the presiding officers of every state legislature
