Maryland HB979 proposes an amendment to the Maryland Constitution to change the rules for calling and adopting a constitutional convention. The amendment would allow a convention to be called if a majority of the votes cast on the question are in favor, rather than a majority of voters voting at the election. Additionally, any changes or amendments to the State Constitution adopted by the convention and submitted to the voters would only become effective if a majority of the votes cast on the question are in favor of the adoption.
