GA HR1861

Georgia General Assembly applies to U.S. Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention limited to proposing amendments that would limit the influence of money in political elections and on government officials

Convention scope could include limitations on U.S. Supreme Court power to review congressional legislation enacted under any resulting amendments

Application is designed to be aggregated with similar applications from other states on the same subject to reach the two-thirds threshold (34 states) required to trigger a convention

Resolution insists the convention be strictly limited to the stated subject matter and calls for Congress to enact severe criminal penalties for anyone who violates the convention's scope

Application remains in effect continuously until two-thirds of state legislatures have submitted applications on the same subject
