Delegates attending an amendment convention held under Article V of the United States Constitution selection process provision

SF 3252 establishes Minnesota's process for selecting delegates to attend an Article V constitutional amendment convention. It requires delegates to be current or former Minnesota legislators who meet specific residency, citizenship, and background qualifications (e.g., no recent federal lobbying or employment). The bill mandates that the Senate majority leader, Senate minority leader, House Speaker, and House minority leader each appoint one delegate, with the fourth appointing authority needing unanimous agreement for a fifth delegate. Crucially, the commissioning resolution bindingly limits delegates from supporting changes to the one-state-one-vote rule or amendments altering core constitutional protections like the Bill of Rights and specific amendments (Thirteenth through Twenty-Sixth). This bill directly affects Minnesota's legislature and potential delegates by defining their selection, qualifications, and strict operational boundaries for the convention.
