The resolution outlines the procedure that the Thirty-Fourth Alaska State Legislature will follow when reconsidering bills and items that have been vetoed by the governor. It emphasizes the importance of the word "immediately" in Article II, Section 16 of the Alaska Constitution, which mandates that the legislature must convene in a joint session to address vetoed measures without delay. The resolution references historical context, including the original intent of the constitutional delegates and subsequent amendments that clarify the timeline for reconsideration of vetoed bills, ensuring that the legislature acts promptly.

Specifically, the resolution establishes that if a veto message is received during a legislative session, the legislature must meet immediately in joint session. If a veto message is received after the adjournment of the first regular session and no special session is called, the legislature must reconvene within five days of the next regular session. Similarly, if a veto message is received after the adjournment of the first or second regular session and a special session is called, the legislature must meet within five days of that special session. However, if a veto message is received after the second regular session and no special session is called, the legislature will not reconvene to reconsider the vetoed item.
