This bill establishes a formal process for selecting delegates to a constitutional convention in Minnesota, as authorized by Article V of the United States Constitution. It mandates that the state appoint five delegates, with one delegate each appointed by the senate majority leader, the senate minority leader, the speaker of the house, and the minority leader of the house of representatives. The four appointing authorities must then unanimously select a fifth delegate. If they cannot reach a unanimous decision by the appointment deadline, the state will only send four delegates to the convention.

Additionally, the bill allows each appointing authority to designate one alternate delegate to step in if the primary delegate is unable to fulfill their duties. It also stipulates that all delegates and alternates must be appointed no later than 30 days before Congress calls a convention or before any time limit set by Congress, whichever comes first. This structured approach aims to ensure that Minnesota is adequately represented at any constitutional convention called by Congress.
