Amendments Convention Called Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution - Delegation to the Convention
This bill requires Maryland's General Assembly to appoint a 7-member delegation and an advisory committee to represent the state at a future constitutional convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, if such a convention is convened. It sets specific qualifications for commissioners (e.g., U.S. citizenship for 5+ years, Maryland residency for 5+ years, no recent federal lobbying or employment), mandates an oath of office, and establishes procedures for their appointment, recall, or removal by the legislature. The bill directly affects Maryland's state government by creating a formal process for participation in a potential national convention to propose constitutional amendments. It does not address the content of any amendments but outlines administrative requirements for Maryland's delegation.
