AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah's Legislature would formally apply to Congress, using the Article V process in the U.S. Constitution, to call a convention limited solely to proposing a constitutional amendment that would cap the number of terms a person can be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. This application would count toward the two-thirds of state legislatures needed to force Congress to call such a convention, and it would remain in effect as a "continuing application" until that threshold is reached, aggregating only with other states' applications on this same term-limits subject. The resolution also directs that copies be sent to congressional leadership, Utah's congressional delegation, and other state legislatures to encourage similar action. If enough states join and a convention eventually proposes an amendment that eventually gets ratified by the states, current and future members of Congress would become subject to term limits.
