✔️ SB112
Establish appointment procedures for constitutional convention
Summary
The bill establishes procedures for appointing delegates to a convention of the states under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. It outlines eligibility criteria for delegates, the appointment process by the Ohio General Assembly, and the authority and responsibilities of the delegates. The bill also includes provisions for the recall of delegates and the creation of an advisory committee to oversee the delegation.
Rationale
The bill supports the concept of state sovereignty and the ability to amend the Constitution, which aligns with some Libertarian principles. However, it imposes restrictions on delegate eligibility and oversight that may conflict with the LP's emphasis on individual rights and limited government. The LPO's support for state sovereignty aligns with the bill's intent, but the restrictions could be seen as excessive.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government control over delegate actions
- Restrictions on individual rights related to delegate eligibility
- Possibility of misuse of the recall process
