The bill establishes a formal process for selecting delegates to a constitutional convention called by Congress under Article V of the United States Constitution. It mandates that the state appoint five delegates, with specific roles assigned to the senate majority leader, senate minority leader, speaker of the house, and the minority leader of the house of representatives. These four appointing authorities must unanimously select a fifth delegate. If they fail to reach a unanimous decision by the appointment deadline, the state will only send four delegates. This selection process is applicable to any convention called under Article V.

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. Furthermore, it stipulates that all delegates and alternates must be appointed no later than 30 days before the convention date or any deadline set by Congress, whichever comes first. This structured approach aims to ensure that Minnesota is adequately represented at constitutional conventions.
