Faithful Delegate to Article V Convention

Introduced·4/30/26
Introduced Text

Establishes process for selecting and overseeing delegates to an Article V Amendment Convention.

This bill amends the South Carolina Code to establish a process for selecting and overseeing delegates to an Article V Amendment Convention. Delegates must meet specific qualifications, including being a U.S. citizen for at least five years and not holding certain federal positions. The General Assembly selects delegates through a concurrent resolution, maintaining an odd number. Delegates receive compensation and allowances similar to state legislators. They must adhere to strict ethical guidelines, avoiding gifts and conflicts of interest.
