Creates procedures for the appointment of commissioners to a convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution
SB 437 establishes standardized procedures for states to appoint commissioners to a convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It directly affects state legislatures that may choose to convene such a convention to propose constitutional amendments. The bill creates specific rules for how commissioners are selected, nominated, and confirmed within each state. This procedural bill does not change constitutional amendment processes but provides a framework for state participation if an Article V convention is called. The bill is currently pending in committee after a committee hearing and "Do Pass" vote.
