providing for the appointment of convention delegates to the convention to propose amendments to the u.S. Constitution.

 

Whereas, on the date of ______________ the State Legislature passed a concurrent resolution entitled "Application to Congress for the Calling of a Convention to Propose Amendments to the Constitution," which applied to the Congress of the United States to convene a convention to consider proposing amendments for ratification to the Constitution; and

 

Whereas, when Congress convenes a convention after receiving similar applications from the legislatures of 33 additional states, it is the desire of the Legislature of the state of Hawaii to have an orderly convention and to have the will of this Legislature fulfilled by its delegates; now, therefore,

The delegates shall be determined in the following manner: two delegates chosen by the House of Representatives, two delegates chosen by the Senate, two delegates chosen by the Governor, one delegate chosen jointly by the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Governor; the leadership of the appointing authority may fill any vacancy.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no delegate from the State of Hawaii shall participate in discussing or voting upon any amendments other than those specific to the four subjects included in the Application to Congress for the Calling of a Convention to Propose Amendments to the Constitution.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that should a delegate from the State of Hawaii perform in a manner inconsistent with the will of this legislature or the rules of the convention or vote in a manner inconsistent hereto, the delegate may be recalled by the leadership of the appointing authority.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State shall pay the general expenses of the delegates for attending the convention and associated events. The delegates may accept no other compensation for serving as a delegate except that provided by the convention.
