constitutional convention; faithless delegates

Summary

The bill adds a new statute that obliges any Arizona delegate to a U.S. constitutional convention to take a sworn oath promising to vote only on matters within the convention’s legally defined scope. Delegates who break the oath – called “faithless” – would be immediately recalled, face a Class 2 felony charge and at least a $5,000 civil penalty. It also says any amendment to the U.S. Constitution must be ratified by a bill passed by the Arizona legislature and approved by the governor.
