Article V Convention; process for appointing commissioners and alternate commissioners to represent the State of Alabama at Article V Convention established

HB 443 establishes Alabama's process for appointing commissioners to represent the state at a potential national Article V Convention, which could propose U.S. constitutional amendments. It requires the Legislature to appoint three commissioners and three alternates via joint resolution, with strict qualifications (e.g., Alabama residency for five years, no federal lobbying/employment). Commissioners must follow specific instructions limiting their authority to amendments related to Alabama's 2015 application, cannot support altering states' voting rules or individual rights guarantees, and are paid at prorated legislative rates. The bill also creates recall procedures for misconduct and criminal penalties for exceeding authorized duties.
