HD 248 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolutions for a United States constitutional amendment and a limited amendment proposing convention

Massachusetts' HD 248 is a legislative resolution calling on Congress to propose a constitutional amendment. The resolution seeks to affirm that constitutional rights apply only to natural persons (not corporations) and to allow limits on political spending to protect election integrity. If Congress does not act within six months, the resolution becomes a formal petition requesting a limited constitutional convention under Article V. This would require 33 other states to join similar requests before Congress convenes the convention, focusing specifically on campaign finance and corporate rights issues stemming from Supreme Court rulings like *Citizens United*.
