Congressional Apportionment Amendment Deadline Act

This joint resolution would set a deadline for states to ratify the Congressional Apportionment Amendment, a proposed constitutional amendment that was sent to the states without a deadline. The amendment would become part of the Constitution only if three-fourths of state legislatures ratify it by December 31, 2026. Any state ratification after that date would not count toward adopting the amendment. The resolution also states that Congress has authority under Article V of the Constitution to set conditions, including deadlines, for ratifying proposed amendments.
