Senate Joint Resolution No. 7 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State to transfer the authority to adjudicate disputes or questions regarding the election returns of members of the General Assembly from the respective houses of the General Assembly to the judicial department. The amendment would require that the results of the canvass of votes for senators and representatives be submitted not only to the House of Representatives and the Senate but also to the Supreme Court on the first day of the session of the General Assembly. The amendment aims to establish the judicial department as the exclusive jurisdiction for resolving election disputes for the General Assembly, removing the final judgment of such matters from each house.

The resolution, if passed by at least three-fourths of the membership of each house of the General Assembly, will be placed on the 2024 general election ballot. If it passes by a simple majority but less than three-fourths, it will be referred to the 2025 session of the legislature. If it passes in that session by a majority of each house, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot. The proposed amendment will become part of the state constitution if a majority of voters in a general election approve it. The ballot designation for the amendment is "Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to provide for judicial review of disputes and questions regarding elections to the General Assembly?" The resolution has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as there is no direct cost associated with placing the amendment on the ballot during existing election days.
