SR 117 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Concurrent Resolution establishing a delegation to represent the Commonwealth at the Amendment Convention pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United States entitled the Article V Amendment Convention and limited to proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to grant State Legislatures authority to countermand and rescind any mandate issued by any Branch of the Federal Government or their agencies that encroach on states' rights and the personal liberties of their citizens.

This concurrent resolution establishes Pennsylvania's delegation to an Article V constitutional convention, specifically authorizing delegates to propose only one amendment: granting state legislatures the authority to countermand or rescind federal mandates that encroach on states' rights or personal liberties. It details the selection process for delegates, requires them to swear oaths to follow Pennsylvania's instructions, and prohibits voting on any alternative amendments. The resolution directly affects Pennsylvania's legislative delegation and sets strict parameters for their participation in the convention, which would require 34 states to apply before convening.
