✔️ HB67
Establish appointment procedures for a convention of states
Summary
The bill establishes procedures for appointing delegates to a convention of states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It outlines eligibility requirements for delegates, the appointment process by the Ohio General Assembly, and the authority and responsibilities of the delegates. Additionally, it creates an advisory committee to monitor the delegation and ensures delegates adhere to specific prohibitions.
Rationale
The bill's focus on government procedures for appointing delegates and monitoring their actions may conflict with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and individual autonomy. However, it aligns with the LPO's emphasis on state sovereignty and limiting federal overreach, which contributes to a higher alignment score for the LPO.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government control over delegate actions
- Risk of limiting individual rights through stringent eligibility criteria
- Possibility of misuse of the convention process
