COMMISSIONERS REPRESENTING THE STATE OF IDAHO AT AN ARTICLE V CONVENTION – States findings of the Legislature and establishes provisions regarding Commissioners representing the State of Idaho at an Article V Convention of the States.
HCR 9 is a concurrent resolution establishing rules for Idaho's commissioners at an Article V convention of states, which proposes U.S. constitutional amendments. It sets strict qualifications (e.g., Idaho residency for 5+ years, no federal lobbying/employment), prohibits commissioners from supporting changes to state voting rules or specific constitutional amendments (like the Bill of Rights), and requires them to follow Idaho's application scope. Commissioners are selected by a legislative resolution (5 members, odd number), must take an oath, and can be recalled by the legislature. The resolution also details delegation procedures, compensation (same as legislators), and requires filing credentials with the secretary of state. This affects Idaho's appointed delegates attending the convention, not general citizens.
