AI Summary
- Florida Legislature applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention limited solely to proposing a balanced budget amendment requiring total federal appropriations not exceed total estimated federal revenues in any fiscal year, absent a national emergency
- Application is intended to be aggregated with similar balanced budget amendment applications from 26 other named states (including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Texas, and others) toward reaching the two-thirds threshold required to call a convention
- Resolution explicitly prohibits aggregation with applications on any other subject and automatically revokes itself if used to support a convention with any agenda beyond the balanced budget amendment
- Builds on prior Florida legislative actions on this topic, including Senate Concurrent Resolution 10 (2010), Senate Memorial 658 (2014), and Senate Memorial 176 (2023)
- Application remains in effect as a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made applications on the same subject, and copies are to be sent to the U.S. President, congressional leaders, Florida's congressional delegation, and all state legislatures
