The resolution proposes an amendment to Article V, Section 12 of the Arizona Constitution, which pertains to the compensation of elective state officers. It establishes that the salaries for these officers, excluding state legislators, will be determined by law and can be adjusted over time. A new commission, known as the Commission on Salaries for Elective State Officers, will be created to provide recommendations on salary rates. This commission will consist of five members appointed from private life, with specific appointments made by the governor, the president of the senate, the speaker of the house, and the chief justice. The governor will then make recommendations to the legislature based on the commission's report, which will take effect unless the legislature enacts a different law or disapproves the recommendations.

Additionally, the resolution clarifies that the salary for state legislators will be established by law, and any recommendations made by the commission regarding legislative salaries will be submitted to voters for approval at the next general election. If approved, these recommendations will take effect at the beginning of the next legislative session. The resolution aims to streamline the process of determining and adjusting the salaries of elective state officers while ensuring that legislative salaries are subject to voter approval.
