AI Summary
- Florida's legislature applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention limited to proposing an amendment that would prohibit Congress from passing any law that does not equally apply to U.S. Representatives, Senators, and all members of the federal legislative branch
- Notes that Congress has historically exempted itself from laws it imposes on citizens, and that the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 only partially addressed this issue
- The application remains in effect as a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications on the same subject, as required by Article V
- Includes a self-revocation clause that automatically nullifies the resolution if it is used to support a constitutional convention with any agenda beyond this single equal-application amendment
- Directs that copies be sent to the President, leaders of both chambers of Congress, Florida's congressional delegation, and the presiding officers of every state legislature
