Joint Order, To Amend Joint Rule 215 To Clarify The Language Of That Rule

This bill amends Joint Rule 215 to clarify the voting requirement for requesting a U.S. Constitutional Convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It specifies that such a request requires a two-thirds vote of members present in each chamber of the Maine Legislature. The change is procedural, directly affecting how the legislature handles formal requests for a national constitutional convention. Sponsored by Senator Bennett (R.) of Oxford County, the bill does not alter the voting threshold but makes the rule language clearer.
