The resolution requests that Representative Meeks be authorized to pursue the consideration of House Joint Resolution 1002 (HJR 1002) as a third proposed constitutional amendment. According to the Joint Rules of the Ninety-Third General Assembly, such an amendment cannot be considered or voted on until identical resolutions have been approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses of the General Assembly.
The resolution, therefore, formally grants Representative Meeks the authority to advance HJR 1002 for potential referral to the state's voters, allowing them to approve or reject the proposed amendment. This step is necessary to move forward with the legislative process regarding the constitutional amendment.
