Summary

This bill would establish procedures for Missouri to appoint commissioners to a constitutional convention called under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. Article V allows states to convene a constitutional convention if two-thirds of state legislatures agree to call one. The bill would require the Missouri General Assembly to appoint commissioners to represent the state at such a convention. The bill would create a joint legislative committee responsible for submitting names of potential commissioners to the General Assembly for consideration and approval. The joint committee would also develop instructions governing the commissioners' duties and responsibilities at the convention, which must be approved by the General Assembly before the commissioners could act.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
