AI Summary
-
Adds six new sections (21.1000-21.1010) to Missouri law governing the state's participation in any future Article V constitutional convention for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution
-
Delegates and alternates selected by majority vote of a joint session of the General Assembly, with a default committee size of five delegates who must be Missouri residents and meet qualifications for state legislative office (U.S. Congress members ineligible)
-
Delegates may be recalled and removed at any time by majority vote of a joint session, or suspended by a joint legislative committee when the legislature is not in session
-
General Assembly must provide instructions via concurrent resolution on the scope of matters delegates may consider and vote on, including rules of procedure and proposed amendments
-
Delegates must take an oath to stay within their authorized scope; violating the oath constitutes perjury and results in permanent disqualification from holding any office of trust or profit, and Missouri's convention application becomes void if a majority of its delegates vote outside their authorized scope
