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 10 years, a resident of Montana for at least 5 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 details the procedures for appointing commissioners through a joint resolution of the legislature, as well as the process for recalling or suspending them.

Additionally, the bill specifies the limitations on the commissioners' authority, including prohibitions against voting for amendments that would alter individual liberties as defined in the Constitution. It mandates that commissioners take an oath of office and outlines the process for filling vacancies, compensation, and the prohibition of accepting gifts over a certain value. The advisory committee is tasked with monitoring the actions of the commissioners to ensure compliance with their defined authority, and it has the power to remove commissioners if they exceed their scope of authority. Overall, the bill aims to ensure a structured and accountable approach to Montana's participation in the Article V convention process.
