Rep. Gary Banz’ – HJR 1018 and HB 1804 and Sen. Rob Standridge’s SJR 4 and SB 53 calling for an Article V Convention of States did pass from the Rules Committees but with the Title stricken.  Here is the definition: Strike the Title – to change the title of a bill to a few words which are briefly descriptive but constitutionally unacceptable. The major intent of this action is to ensure that the bill will go to a conference committee.  Definition:  Conference Committee – a joint committee whose function is to arrive at a single version of a bill which has passed the two legislative houses in somewhat different form.

This means that we must continue to contact the legislators and ask them to VOTE NO.
