Rescinding prior applications for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

Washington State's HJM 4005 formally cancels all previous state applications to Congress for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It directly affects Washington's standing in the national process, removing its historical applications (dating to 1901, 1903, 1909, 1911, and 1963) from official records. The bill's key mechanism is a direct resolution stating the legislature "rescinds, repeals, cancels, nullifies, and supersedes" all prior applications, regardless of their scope or historical record. This is a procedural measure, not a policy change, aimed at ensuring future Washington legislatures must explicitly reapply if they wish to pursue a constitutional convention.
