Bill Summary · HF 2513

Summary of HF 2513 (2025)

Title and Purpose

  • Title: HF 2513 — Process to select delegates to attend an amendment convention held under Article V of the United States Constitution established.
  • Purpose (as inferred from the title): To create a state-level process for selecting Minnesota delegates who would attend an amendment convention convened under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

Status and Timing

  • Introduced: March 20, 2025
  • Current status: Introduction and first reading; referred to the State Government Finance and Policy committee.
  • Legislative track: House bill introduced; companion Senate bill is SF 3252.

Key Provisions (as of available information)

  • The bill’s title indicates it would establish a formal method for choosing Minnesota delegates to participate in an Article V amendment convention.
  • Specific provisions (e.g., who is eligible to be a delegate, how delegates are chosen (election vs. appointment), number of delegates, terms, duties, funding, and oversight) are not provided in the information available. The exact mechanism, procedures, and safeguards would be defined in the bill’s text and any subsequent committee amendments.

Who Would Be Affected

  • Primary: Minnesota state government and residents, through the creation of a state-sanctioned process for selecting delegates to an Article V convention.
  • Potential delegates: Individuals who would be chosen under the new process to represent Minnesota at an amendment convention, should such a convention be called.
  • State agencies/parties: The bill could involve the legislature, election administration, and related state government bodies in implementing the selection process and any associated funding or administrative requirements.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

  • As introduced, the bill is in its early stage (first reading) and has been referred to the State Government Finance and Policy committee.
  • Any movement would likely involve committee hearings, potential amendments, and floor votes in the House, with a companion Senate process indicated by SF 3252.
  • If a constitutional convention under Article V were ever called by states, the bill would presumably provide Minnesota’s internal framework for selecting delegates consistent with state law.

Notes and Related Information

  • Companion/Senate counterpart: SF 3252.
  • Subject: Governmental Operations-State.
  • Given the current stage, the specific policy details, fiscal implications, and implementation timeline will become clearer only after the bill’s text is released and committee work begins.

Next Steps for Interested Readers

  • Monitor committee hearings on HF 2513 for detailed provisions.
  • Compare with SF 3252 to understand cross-state alignment or differences between House and Senate versions.
  • Review the bill text when available to assess eligibility rules, selection method, delegate count, funding, and oversight mechanisms.
