The bill establishes a framework for the appointment, qualifications, and responsibilities of delegates representing Kansas at an Article V convention, which is called for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It outlines the appointment process for delegates and alternate delegates, specifying that they must be current members of the Kansas legislature. The bill also details the terms of service for delegates, the process for recalling delegates, and the filling of any vacancies. Additionally, it mandates that delegates reaffirm an oath to support both the U.S. and Kansas constitutions and adhere to instructions provided by the legislature.
Furthermore, the bill prohibits delegates from voting on unauthorized amendments, defining such amendments as those outside the scope of the Article V application or convention call. Violating this provision is classified as a severity level 6, nonperson felony, and can lead to immediate recall of the delegate. The legislative coordinating council is tasked with reviewing any allegations of violations and may recommend further investigation. The bill also includes provisions for the compensation of delegates for expenses incurred during the convention.
