AI Summary
- Georgia's General Assembly applies to the U.S. Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention for the sole purpose of proposing an amendment to set term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate
- The application shall be aggregated with similar term-limits applications from other states toward reaching the two-thirds threshold (34 states) required to compel Congress to call a convention, but shall not be aggregated with applications on any other subject
- The General Assembly insists the convention be strictly limited to the term-limits subject matter and calls on Congress to enact severe criminal penalties for anyone who attempts to exceed the convention's scope
- The application remains in effect as a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have submitted applications on the same subject
- The Speaker of the Georgia House is directed to distribute copies of the resolution to U.S. congressional leaders, Georgia General Assembly members, and presiding officers of all state legislatures to request their cooperation
