HC 48 Mississippi House · 2024 Regular Session

Article V Convention; provide for selection and authority of commissioners.

This bill establishes the rules for selecting and managing Mississippi's representatives to a future constitutional convention under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It requires commissioners to meet specific eligibility criteria, such as being long-term state residents and excluding those with recent federal employment or felony convictions. The legislation mandates that commissioners take an oath to vote only on subjects approved by the state and prohibits them from altering the rule that each state has one vote. Additionally, the bill outlines how commissioners are appointed, compensated, and can be removed by the legislature or an advisory committee if they exceed their authority.
