Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to persons selected by the general assembly to represent the state at a convention called by the United States Congress to propose amendments to the United States Constitution. The bill defines an Article V convention as a convention called by the United States Congress as provided by Article V of the United States Constitution upon application of the legislatures of at least two-thirds of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution. “Commissioner” is defined to mean a person selected to represent the state at an Article V convention. The bill also defines an unauthorized amendment as a proposed amendment at an Article V convention that is outside the subject matter of the state’s joint resolution calling for the convention or is in contravention of any instructions provided to commissioners by the state. Finally, the bill defines an unauthorized rule as a proposed rule for governing the Article V convention that is in conflict with a rule that each state be granted one vote and that a majority vote is required to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution. The bill provides that a commissioner shall not propose or vote to approve an unauthorized amendment or an unauthorized rule at an Article V convention. The bill also requires a commissioner to take an oath recognizing these prohibitions. of the bill shall be subject to removal and replacement as a commissioner by the state and shall be guilty of a simple misdemeanor.

Nota fiscal
Resumen con IA This bill prohibits commissioners appointed to a constitutional convention from acting beyond their granted authority and creates penalties for violations or interference with their duties. Because this bill establishes a new criminal offense, the fiscal impact on the state's General Fund cannot be estimated due to a lack of existing conviction data. The potential costs would involve the Judicial Branch, the Indigent Defense Fund, and the Department of Corrections. (en inglés)3
De la nota: House File 2311 establishes a new criminal offense, and the fiscal impact cannot be estimated due to a lack of existing conviction data. The average State cost per offense for a Class D felony ranges from $12,600 to $18,200. The estimated impact to the State General Fund includes operating costs incurred by the Judicial Branch, the Indigent Defense Fund, and the Department of Corrections (DOC).
