S 832 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes process for selection, instruction, and oversight of commissioners to Article V convention for proposing amendments to United States Constitution; establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.

New Jersey's S 832 establishes rules for selecting and overseeing the state's commissioners to an Article V constitutional convention. It requires commissioners to meet specific eligibility criteria (e.g., U.S. citizenship, New Jersey residency, no federal lobbying history) and prohibits them from supporting changes to state voting rules or amending key constitutional protections like the Bill of Rights. Commissioners must follow strict instructions outlined in a joint legislative resolution, including an oath to uphold these limits, and can be recalled by the legislature or advisory committee for violations. The bill directly affects New Jersey's delegation to any future constitutional convention, governing their selection, duties, and accountability.
