Establish a Process for the Selection and Oversight of Delegates for a West Virginia Article V Convention Delegation.

Summary

The bill creates rules for how West Virginia will choose, qualify, and control delegates who would attend an Article V convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It sets eligibility criteria, a joint‑legislative selection method, mechanisms for recall or removal, and criminal penalties for delegates who act outside the legislature’s instructions, especially on "runaway" amendments. The goal is to keep any state‑appointed delegation tightly bound to the state’s stated purpose for the convention.
