**PLATFORM / LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY RESOLUTION**

  COUNTY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

MARCH 23, 2024

As Proposed in Precinct   .

**Whereas** SJR 2 was passed by the State Legislature in the 85<sup>th</sup> Session in 2017 calling a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to propose one or more amendments limited to three categories:

  * impose fiscal restraints on the federal government
  * limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and to
  * limit the terms of office of federal officials and members of Congress

**Whereas** SJR 38 was also passed by the State Legislature in the 85<sup>th</sup> Session in 2017 requiring all Article V resolutions passed in or after 2017 to have an 8-year expiration (May 2025) making it necessary to either indefinitely extend the current resolution, or pass it anew, and

**Be it resolved** that the Republican Party of Texas shall reiterate its support of an Article V Convention of States by including it as a legislative priority and altering Plank 37 to read as follows:

> //Article 5 Convention of States: The Texas Legislature shall **indefinitely** extend the call for a Convention of States to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.//
