Constitutional Convention delegates selection process establish
This bill 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 needing to unanimously choose a fifth delegate. If they cannot agree on the fifth delegate, Minnesota would send only four delegates. The bill also outlines procedures for appointing alternates and sets a 30-day deadline before the convention date for all appointments.
