An Act To Establish The Process For The Selection Of Delegates For A Convention Called Under The United States Constitution, Article V
This bill (LD 1059) is a concept draft proposing to establish a process for Maine to select delegates if the state chooses to participate in a convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It does not specify the selection method, voting rules, or other mechanics - only stating it would create a framework for delegate selection. As a concept draft (per Joint Rule 208), it lacks concrete provisions and is not yet a formal bill. The bill does not directly affect current laws or residents, as it only outlines a potential future process. No specific policy changes or mechanisms are detailed in the provided text.
