This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for the appointment and oversight of commissioners who will represent Iowa at a convention called by Congress to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It introduces new definitions for key terms such as "commissioner," "advisory committee," and "delegation," and outlines the selection process for commissioners, including their qualifications and authority. The bill mandates the appointment of five commissioners, detailing procedures for filling vacancies and removing commissioners for cause. It also requires commissioners to adhere to strict guidelines regarding their voting and proposals, ensuring they only support amendments related to the topics specified by the states that called for the convention.

Furthermore, the bill establishes an advisory committee to oversee the commissioners' actions and manage potential removals. It sets the compensation for commissioners at a salary equivalent to that of a district court judge, along with allowances similar to those of general assembly members. The legislation introduces criminal penalties for commissioners who exceed their authority, classifying such actions as a class D felony, and criminalizes bribery, intimidation, or obstruction of commissioners. It emphasizes ethical conduct by prohibiting financial expenditures to seek commissioner appointments and mandates compliance with existing financial disclosure laws, ultimately aiming to ensure accountability and integrity in the process of selecting and operating commissioners at the convention.
