MS HC22

Mississippi Legislature applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention of states limited to proposing amendments imposing fiscal restraints on the federal government, limiting federal power and jurisdiction, and limiting terms of office for federal officials and Congress members.

Application shall be aggregated with other state applications addressing budget balancing, limiting federal power and jurisdiction, and limiting terms of federal officials for purposes of determining whether two-thirds of states have applied.

Secretary of the Senate directed to transmit copies of the application to the President, Senate, House of Representatives, state congressional delegations, 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.
