Bill > LD1059

This bill appears to be a concept draft for establishing a process to select delegates for a convention called under Article V of the United States Constitution, which provides a mechanism for states to propose amendments to the Constitution. While the provided XML does not contain the detailed provisions of the bill, the government summary indicates that the legislation aims to create a formal procedure for choosing representatives who would participate in such a constitutional convention. Article V allows states to call a convention to propose amendments if two-thirds of state legislatures request it, and this bill would outline the specific rules for selecting Maine's delegates to such a potential convention. However, without more detailed text, I cannot provide specifics about the proposed selection process. The bill is currently in a preliminary "concept draft" stage, which means it is a placeholder outlining the basic intent of potential future legislation rather than a fully developed legal document.
