HB 925 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Amendments Convention Called Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution - Delegation to the Convention

HB 925 requires Maryland's General Assembly to appoint a 7-member delegation (called "commissioners") and an advisory committee if an Article V constitutional convention is called by other states. The bill sets strict qualifications for commissioners, including being a U.S. citizen and Maryland resident for at least 5 years, 25 years old, a registered voter, and having no recent federal lobbying or employment ties. It outlines procedures for appointing commissioners via joint resolution, administering an oath, and allowing recall by the General Assembly or advisory committee. This is a procedural bill preparing Maryland's framework for potential participation in a federal constitutional convention, not a substantive policy change.
