South Carolina · H. 3558
Sets up state commissioners for a federal constitutional convention
This bill sets up how South Carolina picks and oversees people who would represent the state at a convention to propose changes to the U.S. Constitution. Commissioners must meet residency, age, and citizenship rules, and the General Assembly names them and can remove them. An advisory committee of lawmakers oversees them, and commissioners who break the rules can face penalties, including felony charges.
