HB2908

Constitutional convention; faithless delegates

Chamber Passed·2/23/26

Arizona HB2908 establishes rules for delegates to a constitutional convention, including an oath, penalties for violations, and definitions.

Arizona HB2908 amends state law to address delegates attending a constitutional convention. It mandates that any delegate who knowingly votes or acts contrary to the convention's specified scope must be reported to the attorney general, the senate president, and the house speaker. A delegate found to be "faithless" faces a class 2 felony charge and a civil penalty of at least $5,000. The bill defines "delegate" and "faithless constitutional convention delegate," and requires delegates to take an oath before accepting their appointment. The oath includes a pledge to uphold the U.S.
