Rep. Gary Gilmore

Maddy summaryNew Hampshire's HCR 16 is a concurrent resolution applying to Congress for a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifically seeks to propose a constitutional amendment setting term limits for U.S. House and Senate members. The resolution states that New Hampshire's application will be aggregated with similar applications from other states to reach the required 2/3 majority of states. This is a procedural step to advance the term limits proposal, not a law affecting current representatives or voters.

Maddy summaryThis resolution formally recognizes and celebrates New Hampshire's longstanding relationship with Canada. It highlights shared geographic proximity, economic ties (especially tourism), cultural exchanges, and historical connections between the two regions. The resolution has no binding effect; it simply affirms New Hampshire's commitment to cooperation in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange, and directs copies to Canada's Prime Minister and Quebec's Premier as a symbolic gesture.
