ARTICLE V CONVENTION – States findings of the Legislature and makes three separate applications to the United States Congress to call a convention of the states under Article V of the Constitution of the United States.
Idaho's HCR 10 is a procedural resolution making three separate applications to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It requests a convention to propose amendments on three specific topics: (1) a balanced federal budget requiring spending to not exceed revenue, (2) fiscal restraints and limits on federal power/jurisdiction, and (3) term limits for U.S. House and Senate members. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to Congress and other state legislatures, with applications remaining valid until two-thirds of states apply on the same topic or 2031. As a non-binding request to Congress, it does not change current law but seeks to advance Idaho's legislative position on constitutional reform.
