Sunsets are beautiful in Nebraska, but a particularly ugly one would see the expiration of the Nebraska legislature's 2022 approval of the COS resolution to call a limited-purpose Article V convention.
Today, February 26, the Nebraska Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing about a resolution to replace the 2022 resolution with a current application to Congress that would eliminate the sunset clause.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. ET/1:30 p.m. CT and will be available in real time on COS LIVE. Convention of States Action president and co-founder Mark Meckler is in Lincoln to testify, and he will be joined by members of the COS Nebraska team. You can watch below:
The new resolution, LR14, was introduced by Sen. Loren Lippincott, and serves as Nebraska's application to Congress to convene an Article V convention that will discuss and propose amendments to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, and set fixed term limits.
The committee will also consider 34|Ready legislation -- LB259. This is a faithful delegate resolution that would, establish the procedures and rules that the Nebraska legislature would utilize to guide the state's delegation to an Article V convention.
The hearing to keep Nebraska's sunsets exclusively in the sky is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m CT./1:30 p.m. CT.
