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, will be created to provide recommendations on salary rates for these positions. 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 receive the commission's recommendations and will then propose specific salary rates to the legislature, which will take effect unless the legislature enacts a different law or disapproves the recommendations. The resolution also clarifies that the established procedures for altering legislative salaries will not apply to the salaries of state legislators. If approved by voters, this amendment will be submitted for consideration in the next general election, as mandated by the Arizona Constitution.
