HB 607 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Establish delegate appointing procedure-constitution convention

This bill establishes a formal process for Ohio to appoint delegates to a national constitutional convention if Congress calls one under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It requires the General Assembly to select an odd number of delegates who meet specific eligibility criteria, including being a state resident for five years, being at least 25, and having no recent federal lobbying or felony convictions. The legislation also creates an advisory committee to guide delegates and sets strict rules on media communications and voting procedures to ensure the state delegation acts as a unified body.
