Missouri HCR39 urges states to call for a constitutional convention to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment and return income tax authority to the states.

Missouri HCR39 calls for a convention to propose an amendment to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment, which allows the federal government to collect income taxes. The resolution argues that the federal income tax undermines the balance of power between the federal government and the states. It requests the Missouri House Chief Clerk to send copies to federal and state officials, urging them to support the repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment. The resolution aims to aggregate applications from multiple states to meet the two-thirds requirement for Congress to call a convention.
