Creating a procedure for appointment of delegates to a convention of the states under article V of the constitution of the United States and prescribing the duties and responsibilities of such delegates.

SB 272 establishes Kansas' process for appointing and managing delegates to a U.S. constitutional amendment convention (called under Article V of the Constitution) if one is ever convened. It requires the governor, Senate president, and House speaker to appoint five delegates and five alternates (with specific legislative representation), mandates delegates to swear an oath and follow legislative instructions, and prohibits voting on "unauthorized" amendments outside those instructions. The bill creates a joint committee to handle communications between Kansas delegates and the legislature, and sets procedures for recalling delegates or filling vacancies. This procedural bill affects only Kansas' delegation to such a convention, not the substance of constitutional amendments.
