The proposed bill, known as the Faithful Delegate to Federal Article V Convention Act, establishes a framework for the election and responsibilities of delegates and alternate delegates representing Nebraska at an Article V convention. It outlines the definitions of key terms such as "delegate," "alternate delegate," and "unauthorized vote," and specifies that the Legislature will elect these representatives following the calling of an Article V convention. The bill mandates that delegates and alternate delegates must adhere to instructions set by the Legislature and prohibits them from accepting gifts from registered lobbyists. Additionally, it establishes procedures for handling unauthorized votes, including disqualification of delegates who cast such votes.

The bill also creates an advisory committee composed of the Executive Board of the Legislative Council and the Lieutenant Governor to oversee the actions of delegates when the Legislature is not in session. This committee will advise delegates on potential unauthorized votes and determine the validity of challenged votes. The legislation emphasizes the importance of legislative direction and accountability for delegates, ensuring that their actions align with the instructions provided by the Legislature. Overall, the bill aims to ensure that Nebraska's representation at an Article V convention is conducted in a structured and accountable manner.
