Process to select delegates to attend an amendment convention held under Article V of the United States Constitution established.
HF 2513 establishes Minnesota's process for selecting delegates to attend a potential Article V constitutional convention. The bill requires the Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, House Speaker, and House Minority Leader to each appoint one delegate, with a fifth delegate to be chosen unanimously by all four; if they cannot agree, Minnesota sends four delegates. Delegates must be current or former Minnesota legislators who meet specific residency, citizenship, and ethical qualifications (e.g., no federal lobbying or employment in the last decade). The bill also mandates that delegates cannot support changing the one-state-one-vote rule or amend specific constitutional protections (like the Bill of Rights), and their authority is limited to issues Minnesota requested in its application for the convention.
