(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)


H.C.R. 2013

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona,
the Senate concurring:

1. That, pursuant to Article V of the Constitution of the United
States, the Legislature of the State of Arizona formally applies to the
Congress of the United States to call a convention of the states only for
the purpose of proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United
States requiring that, in the absence of a national emergency, the total
of all federal appropriations made by the Congress for any fiscal year may
not exceed the total of all estimated federal revenue for that fiscal
year, together with any related and appropriate fiscal restraints.

2. That this application is to be considered as covering the same
subject matter as the currently outstanding balanced budget applications
from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West
Virginia and shall be aggregated with those applications for the purpose
of attaining the two-thirds of the states necessary to require the calling
of a convention, but may not be aggregated with any applications on any
other subjects.

3. That this application constitutes a continuing application in
accordance with Article V of the Constitution of the United States until
at least two-thirds of the legislatures of the several states have made
application on the same subject, and supersedes all previous applications
by this Legislature on the same subject.

4. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit a
copy of this Resolution to the President and Secretary of the United
States Senate, the Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of
Representatives, each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona and the
presiding officers of each house of the several state legislatures.
