IL HJR0074

Illinois applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention of states limited to proposing constitutional amendments.

Proposed amendments would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit federal power and jurisdiction, and limit terms of office for federal officials and Congress members.

Illinois Secretary of State directed to transmit copies of this application to the President, Congress leadership, Illinois Congressional Delegation, and presiding officers of all state legislatures.

Application constitutes a continuing application under Article V until legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states submit applications on the same subject.
