Senate Bill No. introduced by T. McGillvray establishes a comprehensive framework for the selection, oversight, and removal of commissioners who will represent Montana at an Article V convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The bill outlines the qualifications for commissioners, which include being a U.S. citizen for at least ten years, a resident of Montana for at least five years, and at least 18 years old, among other criteria. It also creates an Article V Commissioner Advisory Committee to assist in the selection and oversight process, and defines the roles and responsibilities of the commissioners, including the requirement to take an oath of office and adhere to specific limitations on their authority.

The bill includes provisions for the appointment and removal of commissioners through a joint resolution of the legislature, ensuring that an odd number of commissioners is maintained. It allows for the recall or suspension of commissioners by the advisory committee if they exceed their authority. Additionally, the bill prohibits commissioners from accepting gifts exceeding $200 during their service and establishes rules for the conduct and decision-making within the delegation. The advisory committee is tasked with monitoring the actions of the commissioners and ensuring compliance with the established guidelines. Overall, the bill aims to create a structured and accountable process for Montana's participation in the Article V convention.
