Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a temporary succession process for House vacancies due to death. Under the amendment, each elected Representative would submit a list of at least five qualified designees before taking office. If a Representative dies, the state's chief executive would select a replacement from that list within 10 days, and the Speaker would immediately fill the seat. The designated successor would serve until a special election is held and would themselves be required to maintain a designee list.
