Constitutional convention process established to select delegates.
HF 593 establishes a process for Minnesota to select delegates to a potential constitutional convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It requires the Senate majority leader, Senate minority leader, House speaker, and House minority leader to each appoint one delegate, with the four appointing authorities jointly selecting a fifth delegate by unanimous choice. The bill also allows for alternate delegates and sets a 30-day appointment deadline before the convention's scheduled date. This procedural bill directly affects Minnesota's legislative leadership and applies only if Congress convenes such a convention. It does not change Minnesota's constitution but creates a framework for delegate selection.
