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 positions such as the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction will be determined by law, with the possibility of adjustments over time. A new commission, known as the Commission on Salaries for Elective State Officers, is to be created, consisting of five members appointed from private life. This commission will provide recommendations to the governor regarding the salaries of elected state officers, excluding legislative salaries, which will follow a different procedure.

The governor will then relay these recommendations to the legislature, and unless the legislature enacts a different law or disapproves the recommendations within a specified timeframe, the proposed salaries will take effect. The resolution mandates that the Secretary of State submit this amendment to the voters during the next general election, allowing the public to decide on the proposed changes to the compensation structure for elective state officers in Arizona.
