A joint resolution rescinding prior applications of the legislature to Congress for a constitutional convention under Article V of the Constitution of the United States.

This bill, introduced by Representative Tina Liebling, aims to officially withdraw previous requests made by the Minnesota legislature to Congress for a constitutional convention. Such a convention could propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and this resolution seeks to eliminate any ongoing efforts related to that. Essentially, it is a move to prevent Minnesota from pursuing a constitutional convention in the future.

Supporters of this resolution argue that rescinding the previous applications is a necessary step to protect the integrity of the U.S. Constitution. They believe that a constitutional convention could lead to unintended consequences and that it's safer for states to avoid opening up the Constitution to amendments that could undermine rights and protections.

Critics of the resolution may contend that rescinding the applications limits the state's ability to advocate for necessary constitutional reforms. They might argue that a constitutional convention could be a valuable opportunity for states to address pressing issues and that this bill closes the door on potential positive changes.
