This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 41-1108, which outlines the procedures and responsibilities for the state's delegation to a convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The bill mandates that the delegation can only discuss and propose amendments that fall within a defined "Legal Convention Scope," which is determined by the subject matter referenced by at least two-thirds of the states and Congress. It also establishes an oath of office for delegation members, requiring them to uphold the Constitution and adhere strictly to the approved 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 for members who vote on amendments outside the Legal Convention Scope, classifying such actions as a Class 5 felony. Members are also required to report any violations by others in the delegation to appropriate authorities. Overall, the bill aims to ensure that Arizona's delegation operates within strict legal and ethical boundaries during a constitutional convention.
