HI HCR53

Requests the United States Congress to convene a constitutional convention under Article V to propose an amendment overturning the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision and eliminate money's influence on elections.

Directs the constitutional convention to consider whether campaign expenditures constitute protected First Amendment speech, whether independent expenditures corrupt the democratic process, and whether regulating such expenditures serves the public interest.

Limits the convention's authority strictly to the purposes stated in the resolution and prohibits it from addressing any other constitutional amendments.

Specifies that convention delegates must be current state and local elected officials or individuals elected from congressional districts, with a ban on anyone currently or formerly holding federal office from serving as delegates.

Coordinates this application with similar resolutions from Vermont, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and other states seeking a constitutional convention on this issue until two-thirds of states have applied.
