This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 41-1108, which outlines the procedures and requirements for the state's delegation to a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The bill stipulates that the delegation must only discuss and propose amendments that fall within the "Legal Convention Scope," as defined by the calls from Congress and at least two-thirds of the states. It also establishes an oath of office for delegation members, emphasizing their commitment to uphold the Constitution and adhere to the specified subjects of the convention.

Additionally, the bill introduces penalties for violations of the oath, including immediate recall from the delegation, civil penalties of at least $5,000, and potential criminal charges. It mandates that any member aware of violations must report them to key state officials. Furthermore, it classifies voting to approve amendments outside the Legal Convention Scope as a Class 5 felony, thereby reinforcing the accountability of delegation members in the amendment process.
