(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Provides that if a convention reconvenes and revises the proposed constitution the convention shall resubmit the revised proposed constitution simultaneously to the Governor of the Virgin Islands and the President.

Directs the President, within 60 calendar days after the date of receipt of the revised proposed constitution, to: (1) notify the convention, the Governor, and Congress of the President's comments on the revised proposed constitution; and (2) publish the comments in the Federal Register.
