AI Summary
-
Ohio General Assembly would appoint an odd number of delegates to any Article V constitutional convention called by Congress, selected by concurrent resolution or majority vote in joint session
-
Delegate eligibility requires U.S. citizenship and Ohio residency for at least 5 years, minimum age 25, no federal lobbying within 5 years, no federal employment or elected office within 10 years, and no felony convictions involving moral turpitude
-
Delegates must execute a written oath and receive compensation equal to state House members (prorated), while a 3-member legislative advisory committee would monitor delegate conduct and provide guidance within 24 hours of requests
-
Delegates are prohibited from voting to change the one-state-one-vote convention rule, altering constitutional guarantees of individual liberty (Bill of Rights, 13th-15th, 19th, 23rd-24th, 26th Amendments), or voting on amendments outside the original convention scope
-
Violations of delegate prohibitions constitute a third-degree felony, and delegates may be recalled by the General Assembly or advisory committee at any time for exceeding their authority or accepting gifts exceeding $200
