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. The commission will consist of five members appointed from private life, and its recommendations will be forwarded to the governor, who will then make further recommendations to the legislature.

The resolution also clarifies that the salaries of state legislators will not be subject to the same commission process and will be established by law. The recommendations made by the governor regarding salaries will take effect unless the legislature enacts a different statute or disapproves the recommendations within a specified timeframe. Finally, the Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposed amendment to the voters at the next general election for approval.
