Measures active, in Congress or state legislatures,
that we are opposing in our
"Expose the Article V Con-con Fraud" campaign
Measures That Require Urgent Attention:
Arizona-HCR2015 | This measure is through with committees in its house of origin, and a floor vote is imminent. This measure had a committee hearing on Feb. 17 -- and narrowly passed (7-6). The House Rules committee passed it on 2/22. SO, WE MUST NOW contact ALL the House representatives!! And tell the REPUBLICANS that the whole notion of a "limited convention" is just a SCAM, created -- and increasingly ACKNOWLEDGED as false -- by the "right-wing" Con-con groups!! |
Arizona-SCR1025 | This measure had a committee hearing on Feb. 15 -- and narrowly passed (4-3-1). It is now in the Senate Rules committee, and will have a hearing there on 2/22. Nevertheless, WE MUST NOW contact ALL the Senators!! Tell the REPUBLICANS that the whole notion of a "limited convention" is just a SCAM, created -- and increasingly ACKNOWLEDGED as false -- by the "right-wing" Con-con groups!! |
Georgia-SR28 | This measure has already passed its house of origin. The measure had a committee hearing on Feb. 17 -- and it passed! Then, IT PASSED THE SENATE, on 2/22! WE MUST NOW contact all the House Representatives!! Tell the Republicans, especially, that the whole notion of a "limited convention" is a SCAM, created -- and increasingly ACKNOWLEDGED as false -- by the "right-wing" Con-con groups!! Tell them to ASK Sen. Cowsert WHY his SR 29 -- a BBA-A5C application -- says it can be aggregated with six decades-old A5C applications that are explicitly limited to no topic whatever!!! |

Iowa-HJR3 | On 2/15/21, it was referred to a different subcommittee: Lundgren, Bohannan and Bossman. On Feb. 17, its subcommittee heard the measure. Let's contact the committee members and tell them an A5C would be far too risky for the miniscule benefits it could yield!! |
Iowa-HJR9 | On Feb. 17, its subcommittee heard the measure. Let's contact the committee members and tell them an A5C would be far too risky for the miniscule benefits it could yield!! (The resolution is basically of the Convention of States pattern -- "provided,however,that the delegates from Iowa to said convention areexpressly limited to consideration and support of amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, and amendments that limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and no amendments on any other topic." Also, it states "the intention of the General Assembly that this application shall be aggregated with the prior and subsequent applications of other states limited to the purposes identified in this application.") |
Iowa-SJR11 | On 2/25/21 was referred to Subcommittee: Guth, Bisignano, and Dawson. On 3/2, the subcommittee held a hearing on it -- and recommended passage! Contact all Iowa state senators -- particularly in the Senate State Government committee: tell them why an A5C is a BAD IDEA -- IN THE CURRENT political environment!! |
Iowa-SJR12 | On 2/25 was referred to Subcommittee: Guth, Celsi, and Dawson. On 3/2, the subcommittee held a hearing on it -- and recommended passage! Contact all Iowa state senators -- particularly in the Senate State Government committee: tell them why an A5C is a BAD IDEA -- IN THE CURRENT political environment!! |
Kansas-SCR1611 | Federal & State Affairs Committee-hearing scheduled for Tues., Mar. 23!! |
Maryland-HJ6 | A committee hearing was scheduled for March 15 (9:00 am)! Let's write the House Rules and Executive Nominations Committee, and let them know why an A5 convention is a BAD idea (especially now!), and that HJ0006 deserves to DIE in committee!! |
Maryland-SJ7 | The measure had a Committee hearing 2/18 -- let's tell the whole committee that an A5C would be FAR too risky for what miniscule benefits it could yield!! |
Missouri-HB836 | This measure had a General Laws Committee-hearing on Mar. 22, 2021, and Executive (i.e., voting) session on Mar. 29 -- where they voted (11-4) to PASS it! It's now in the House Rules - Legislative Oversight Committee. Let's let the committee members know that there is NO controlling delegates to an A5 convention!! |
Missouri-HCR17 | This measure is through with committees in its house of origin, and a floor vote is imminent. The measure had a committee-hearing on Mar. 1, 2021; and on Mar. 8, the committee voted it "do pass"!! Then it went to the House Rules - Legislative Oversight Committee; and they voted it "Do Pass" as well (on Mar. 29). Now it's going to the full House -- so, we need to contact ALL Missouri state representatives -- warn them that an A5 convention should be AVOIDED right now!! (This resolution basically REMOVES the (five-year) "sunset" provision that was on the COS resolution SCR4 as adopted by the Ninety-ninth General Assembly, First Regular Session.) |
Missouri-HCR36 | This measure had a General Laws Committee-hearing on Mar. 8, 2021, and Executive (i.e., voting) session on Mar. 22 -- where they voted (11-4) to PASS it! Now it's in the House Rules - Legislative Oversight Committee. Let's let the committee members know that there is NO controlling delegates to an A5 convention!! |
Missouri-SB231 | Had a hearing by its committee, Feb 23! And the committee voted it "Do Pass"!! Let all the Missouri state senators know that delegate laws don't work, they're just a smokescreen over the truth that A5 conventions can't be controlled!! |
Missouri-SCR1 | Hearing by its committee: Feb 23 @ 9:00 am in Senate Lounge! |
Missouri-SCR4 | Had a hearing by its committee, Feb 23! And on Mar 23, the committee voted it "Do Pass"!! Let all the Missouri state senators know that an A5 convention can't be controlled!! |
Missouri-SCR8 | Had a hearing by its committee, on Mar 30, the committee voted it "Do Pass"!! Let all the Missouri state senators know that an A5 convention can't be controlled!! (This measure is to replace Missouri's Term Limits application that passed in 2018 (SCR40), which has a "sunset," i.e. expiry, provision.) |
Montana-HJ13 | The measure had a committee-hearing Feb. 24 -- and the committee ended up tabling it! In Montana, "In addition to setting aside bills that are later taken up, this motion ['tabling' the bill] is traditionally the motion used [by a committee] to dispose of a bill without requiring consideration by the Committee of the Whole." So, this seems likely to have killed the resolution; anyway. it must get out of the committee by 2/26, or it will miss the Crossover Deadline (for the House to transmit it to the Senate)!! |
Nebraska-LB195 | The measure had a first hearing, by its committee (Government, Military and Veterans Affairs), on Feb. 10, 2021! Tell the committee to vote NO!! |
Nebraska-LR14 | The measure had a first hearing, by its committee (Government, Military and Veterans Affairs), on Feb. 10, 2021. And now Sen. Halloran has made it his "priority" bill -- which implies that we need to contact THE WHOLE SENATE, and urge them to VOTE "NO" on LR14 -- the Con-con is just a CON-GAME, to "run away" with our Constitution!! |
New Hampshire-HCR1 | This measure is through with committees in its house of origin, and a floor vote is imminent. The measure had a committee hearing on Fri., Jan. 29. The Executive session, where they voted on it, was Feb. 12; they issued their report on Feb. 16 -- and GOOD NEWS!! The committee voted OVERWHELMINGLY (19-2) that the measure is "Inexpedient to Legislate"!! The measure will now go to the full House floor; but our chances are now GOOD!! Let's back up this committee vote, by telling the representatives that the measure REALLY IS, SUPER-inexpedient to legislate!! Update: 2021-02-25 - "Special Order to Regular Calendar of next Session day Without Objection"!! |
New Hampshire-HCR4 | This measure is through with committees in its house of origin, and a floor vote is imminent. The measure had a committee hearing on Fri., Jan. 29. The Executive session, where they voted on it, was Feb. 12; they issued their report on Feb. 16 -- and GOOD NEWS!! The committee voted UNANIMOUSLY (21-0) that the measure is "Inexpedient to Legislate"!! The measure will now go to the full House floor; but our chances are now GOOD!! Let's back up this committee vote, by telling the representatives that the measure REALLY IS, SUPER-inexpedient to legislate!! |
North Carolina-H172 | This measure has already passed its house of origin. This measure had a committee-hearing on Tues., Mar. 9, 2021 -- and the committee "reported favorably" (whereupon it was re-referred to the Committee On Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House -- which reported likewise)!! And on Mar. 17, it passed the full House!! Now it's in the Committee on Rules and Operations of the Senate -- where we need to put the brakes on it, by warning ALL N.C. state senators of the extreme danger, in the current environment, of calling an A5C!!! |
Oklahoma-SJR23 | This resolution (pre-filed) contains two separate Art. V convention applications: BBA and COS. It had a hearing on Feb. 24, and the committee passed it, 10-2!! Then on Mar. 2, it passed the Senate, 37-10!! Now it's in the House Rules Committee, and is scheduled to be heard Tuesday, April 6, 2021, 1:30:00 PM in ROOM 206!! Let's contact ALL Okla. state Representatives, and tell them they need to send SJR 23 PACKING!!! |
South Carolina-H3205 | This measure was to have a committee-hearing on Mar. 18, 2021!! As of Mar. 20, we don't have a committee vote; but let's write the WHOLE S.C. House, to get ahead of things -- and tell them to vote NO on H. 3205 (Convention of States)!!! |
Tennessee-HJR0008 | This measure is through with committees in its house of origin, and a floor vote is imminent. This one had a subcommittee hearing March 3, 2021 -- and then a hearing by its main committee March 9 -- who recommended it for passage!! Now it's on the House Regular Calendar for April 8th!!! TELL the whole House of Representatives that an Article V convention is a BAD idea (and so are term limits, for that matter)!! |
West Virginia-HCR5 | This one is to have a hearing by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, April 5th, at 9:00 AM! Let's let the WHOLE House know that a "Delegate Bill" such as SB332 CAN'T CONTROL REPRESENTATIVES OF "WE THE PEOPLE," AT any constitution-amending convention!! |
West Virginia-HCR29 | This one is to have a hearing by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, April 5th, at 9:00 AM! Let's let the WHOLE House know that a "Delegate Bill" such as SB332 CAN'T CONTROL REPRESENTATIVES OF "WE THE PEOPLE," AT any constitution-amending convention!! |
West Virginia-SB332 | This measure has already passed its house of origin. The measure had a hearing Feb 26, in the Senate Judiciary Committee -- and they passed it, March 1st! Then the whole Senate passed it three days later!! It's now in the House Judiciary Committee, and SCHEDULED FOR A HEARING on Monday, April 5th, at 9:00 AM! Let's let the WHOLE House know that a "Delegate Bill" such as SB332 CAN'T CONTROL REPRESENTATIVES OF "WE THE PEOPLE," AT any constitution-amending convention!! |
West Virginia-SCR5 | This measure has already passed its house of origin. The Senate passed this measure on 3/23/21; and two days later, it found itself in the House Judiciary Committee!! Let's try ONCE MORE to educate the W.V. House, about A5C danger!! |
Wisconsin-AJR9 | AJR 9 had a hearing in the Assembly Constitution and Ethics Committee, March 3, 2021. They've not voted yet, but let's get ahead of the game! Contact all Assembly Representatives, and tell them that a Convention of States is WAY TOO RISKY in the current political environment!! |

Text of measure: http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/documents/2021/html/HB/1300-1399/HB1326IN.htm
Notes: This measure was only to extend Mississippi's existing membership in the "Compact for America", a.k.a. Compact for a BBA. In early Feb. (2021) it zipped thru the House. Then on Mar. 10, it passed the Senate. (This goes to show the real purpose of "sunset dates" (expiration dates), on these measures: it's to assure legislators it's OK to vote for it, by making them feel that they're not getting locked into the arrangement. But then, come time to vote on whether to extend the "sunset" date, few legislators have the determination to oppose the extension; commonly, the legislature votes to relieve the law of ANY sunset date!)

General aim: Application for Congress to call an Article V convention
Model Resolution: Balanced Budget Amendment
Description: Applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States requiring that in the absence of a national emergency the total of all federal outlays made by the Congress for any fiscal year may not exceed the total of all estimated federal revenues for that fiscal year, together with any related and appropriate fiscal restraints

Text of measure: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2021/billhtml/HJ0013.htm
Notes: The measure had a committee-hearing Feb. 24 -- and the committee ended up tabling it! In Montana, "In addition to setting aside bills that are later taken up, this motion ['tabling' the bill] is traditionally the motion used [by a committee] to dispose of a bill without requiring consideration by the Committee of the Whole." So, this seems likely to have killed the resolution; anyway. it must get out of the committee by 2/26, or it will miss the Crossover Deadline (for the House to transmit it to the Senate)!!

Text of measure: https://leg.mt.gov/bills/2021/billhtml/SJ0002.htm
Notes: Had a hearing on Jan. 22, 2021. The vote came later, on Jan. 26 -- and GOOD NEWS!! The committee voted 7-4 to "table" the resolution: in Montana, "In addition to setting aside bills that are later taken up, this motion ['tabling' the bill] is traditionally the motion used [by a committee] to dispose of a bill without requiring consideration by the Committee of the Whole." So, this seemed likely to have killed the resolution. However, on Feb. 9 the Senate voted to "take the measure from its committee"! And the next day, they voted on a motion of passing it (to the House); but thankfully, it failed, 24-26!! And then they voted 31-19 to postpone it indefinitely!! Now nothing can salvage it except a delayed vote to reconsider -- but reconsidering it would require a 2/3 majority -- which ain't gonna happen!! YAY!!!

Description: To apply for a convention of states under Article V of the Constitution of the United States to impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and to limit the terms of office for federal officials and members of Congress

Text of measure: https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/21936/211655
Notes: At its committee hearing on Feb. 1st 2021, HJR 5001 was voted down -- and THEN, "deferred to the 41st Day" -- which means, the committee cannot take it up again that session! (The 41st legislative day is the day after the session closes!) So, the only way it can reach the House floor is if at least 24 representatives vote to "smoke it out" of committee -- which to happen, must occur within three legislative days -- which it didn't!! YAY -- this thing looks dead!!!

Notes: This one had a committee hearing on 2/24/21 -- and, GOOD NEWS!!! The vote to pass the measure FAILED, and then a vote to "Defer the measure to the 41st legislative day" PASSED!! Now, the only way it's likely to survive is if the Senate votes to "smoke it out" of committee -- but that can happen only "if no more than three legislative days have passed since the committee reported that the bill or resolution was tabled or deferred to the 41st legislative day", and only "if the motion is supported by the vote of one-third or more of the members-elect"!!
