HB 1811 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates procedures for the appointment of commissioners to a convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution

HB 1811 establishes Missouri's process for appointing commissioners and alternates to attend an Article V convention, which is a meeting to propose changes to the U.S. Constitution. The bill requires one commissioner and one alternate per congressional district (eight each for Missouri), with commissioners needing to be Missouri residents meeting state House qualifications but excluding U.S. lawmakers, federal employees, and certain other officials. The Missouri House and Senate must select commissioners via a concurrent resolution, ensuring at least one-third are not current legislators. Commissioners must swear to follow the legislature's instructions for the convention, including only considering amendments that align with Missouri's application, and report any violations by fellow delegates.
