Senate Bill 1567 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3, Chapter 18, to create a structured framework for the state's participation in Article V conventions aimed at proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The bill introduces new definitions and establishes qualifications for commissioners, including requirements that they be U.S. citizens, residents of Tennessee for at least five years, and meet specific age and voting criteria. It outlines the appointment process for commissioners through a joint resolution of the general assembly, ensuring equal representation from Tennessee's three grand divisions.

The bill also establishes an Article V convention advisory committee to oversee commissioners' actions and ensure compliance with state laws. It includes provisions for the suspension or removal of commissioners who exceed their authority and imposes restrictions on their eligibility for certain offices after their service. Violations of the established rules are classified as a Class E felony, clarifying the legal consequences for specific infractions. Additionally, the bill states that the headings within the act are for reference only and requests their incorporation in future compilations. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency for public welfare.
