Convention of states delegates have penalties for deviating from what they were sent to convention for

HB 2398 would impose penalties on delegates attending a "Convention of States" (a state-led gathering to propose U.S. constitutional amendments) who exceed their assigned authority. Delegates found violating their mandate would face mandatory recall, a $100,000-$500,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison, and voided votes. The bill directly affects state delegates appointed to such conventions, requiring them to strictly adhere to their pre-defined roles. It establishes these specific consequences as mandatory measures for any deviation from their authorized purpose.
