A joint resolution applying to Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention to propose an amendment addressing campaign finance reform

Minnesota's SF 3254 is a joint resolution asking Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention focused on campaign finance reform. It directs Minnesota to apply to Congress by December 31, 2026, if Congress hasn't proposed a campaign finance amendment by then, seeking a convention limited to regulating money's influence in elections to ensure transparency and prevent corruption. The resolution specifies that Minnesota's application must be counted with similar applications from other states to reach the two-thirds threshold needed to trigger a convention, but cannot be combined with applications on other topics. This is a procedural request - not a law - and Minnesota retains the right to reject any proposed amendment from the convention.
