House Joint Resolution 151 Summary

• North Carolina applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call a convention for proposing a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on U.S. House Representatives and U.S. Senators.

• The Secretary of State must transmit copies of this application to federal officials including the President, congressional leadership, and state legislators nationwide requesting their cooperation.

• This application covers the same subject matter as other states' applications and will be aggregated with them toward the two-thirds of states required to trigger a limited convention, but will not be combined with applications on other subjects.

• The application constitutes a continuing application under Article V until at least two-thirds of state legislatures submit applications on the same subject of congressional term limits.

• The resolution became effective upon ratification on December 5, 2024.
