The resolution proposes an amendment to Article VI, Section 38 of the Arizona Constitution, which pertains to the retention elections of justices and judges. The amendment outlines the process for justices and judges of the supreme court and intermediate appellate courts to file a declaration of their desire to be retained in office. This declaration must be submitted to the Secretary of State or the appropriate county clerk within a specified timeframe before the general election. The names of those who file will appear on the ballot, allowing voters to decide whether to retain them in office.

If a majority of voters choose "No," a vacancy will occur at the end of the justice's or judge's term, which will be filled according to the provisions of the Constitution. Conversely, a "Yes" vote will allow the justice or judge to serve another term. Additionally, if a justice or judge fails to file the required declaration, their office will become vacant at the end of their term. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this amendment to voters during the next general election.
