B 1460 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Concerns the rescission of all previous requests by the New York State Legislature or either house thereof for a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution

This bill directs the New York State Legislature to cancel all previous requests it has ever made to the U.S. Congress for a constitutional convention under Article V. The measure aims to nullify past applications that sought specific changes, such as repealing Prohibition or funding secular education, arguing that these old proposals might unfairly bind future generations. Once passed, the New York Secretary of State will send official copies of this cancellation notice to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The legislation ensures that New York does not remain tied to historical calls for a convention, allowing the state to decide anew on any future constitutional amendments.
