Article V Convention; provide for selection and authority of commissioners.
This Mississippi bill establishes rules for the state's delegates to an Article V constitutional convention proposed under the U.S. Constitution. It requires commissioners to be Mississippi residents for five years, U.S. citizens, and prohibits them from supporting changes to the Bill of Rights (including the 13th-26th Amendments) or altering the "one-state-vote" convention rule. Commissioners would be appointed by a joint legislative vote, must follow specific instructions from the legislature, and take an oath to adhere to these limits. The bill also outlines vacancy procedures, sets compensation equal to state legislators, and bans gifts over $200 during service.
