AI Summary

  • Nebraska applies to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution for a convention of states limited to proposing amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit federal power and jurisdiction, and establish term limits for federal officials and members of Congress

  • Repeals and supersedes Nebraska's previous 2022 Legislative Resolution 14, which contained the same application but included a February 1, 2027 rescission date

  • Declares that Congress's role is purely ministerial—limited to calling the convention when two-thirds of states apply and setting a time and place for the initial meeting, with no power to name delegates, set delegate numbers, or determine convention rules

  • Establishes that the convention would operate on a one-state, one-vote basis and that the Legislature retains authority to recall Nebraska delegates for breach of duties or violation of instructions

  • Remains a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) submit applications for an Article V convention on the same subject
