LR 14 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolution to rescind a prior resolution and apply to Congress for a convention of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution

Nebraska's Legislative Resolution 14 (LR 14) formally applies to Congress for an Article V convention of states to propose constitutional amendments. It specifically seeks amendments to impose fiscal restraints on federal spending, limit federal government power over states, and restrict terms for federal officials and Congress members. The resolution rescinds Nebraska's 2022 application (which expired in 2027) and specifies that Congress can only perform a ministerial role in calling the convention - once two-thirds of states apply for the same purpose - and that states retain full control over delegate selection and convention rules. This resolution directly affects Nebraska's state legislature, as it updates the state's formal request to Congress under the U.S. Constitution's Article V process.
