Convention of States

As 2015 winds down, I want to give you a report on where things stand nationally and in Pennsylvania with the COS resolution, and plans for 2016. On the national front, we're still at 4 states having passed the resolution: Florida, Georgia, Alaska and Alabama. In 2015, the resolution was filed in 37 states, something that has never happened in a single year the history of the republic. Nine of those states were able to pass the resolution through at least one chamber in 2015, and eight of those will continue uninterrupted into 2016 with floor votes in the other chamber. We are hopeful that the state resolution "complete count" will be in the high teens (or better) by the end of 2016.
