Establishes provisions for the appointment and duties of commissioners to attend an Article V convention
HB 166 establishes Missouri's rules for selecting and overseeing commissioners who would attend a potential Article V constitutional convention (a process to propose U.S. constitutional amendments). It requires commissioners to be Missouri citizens meeting House of Representatives qualifications (excluding federal officials and some state leaders), appoints them via a joint legislative committee with at least one-third not being current lawmakers, and mandates they follow specific instructions set by the Missouri legislature regarding what issues they can address at the convention. The bill also creates oversight mechanisms to ensure commissioners act within the legislature's approved guidelines.
