HI SR45

Requests Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V for the exclusive purpose of proposing an amendment to limit money's influence in elections and overturn the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision.

Convention should be limited in scope and only convened once two-thirds of state legislatures have applied for a similar convention for this identical purpose.

Proposes that convention delegates be comprised equally of individuals currently elected to state and local office or selected by election in each Congressional district, with federal officeholders prohibited from serving as delegates.

Directs transmission of this resolution to the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, Senate leadership, Hawaii's federal representatives, and state legislative leaders to encourage other states to submit similar applications.

Identifies this as a continuing application to be considered together with previous applications from Vermont, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and Rhode Island on the same constitutional amendment purpose.
