S.1164

Call for an Article V Convention of States on Federal Fiscal Responsibility

Introduced·4/30/26

South Carolina S1164 calls for an Article V Convention of States to propose fiscal responsibility amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

South Carolina S1164 urges Congress to call an Article V Convention of States to propose amendments focused on federal fiscal responsibility. The bill highlights that sufficient states have already applied for such a convention, making it necessary for Congress to convene it. If Congress fails to act, South Carolina requests the Attorney General to file a declaratory judgment with the U.S. Supreme Court. The convention would be held in Charleston, South Carolina, and would include committees on rules, convention management, and defining Article V terms.
