Senate Joint Resolution No. 38 seeks to amend the Constitution of the State by replacing gender-specific language with gender-neutral terms throughout various sections, including Article First and its amendments. The resolution aims to promote equality and eliminate gender bias in legal language by substituting terms like "men" and "his" with "persons" and "such person's." This initiative is designed to ensure that all individuals are recognized equally under the law, reinforcing the state's commitment to inclusivity and non-discrimination based on gender.

In addition to the language amendments, the resolution outlines changes to the governance structure, including the roles of the lieutenant-governor and the procedures for determining gubernatorial incapacity. It clarifies the responsibilities of state officials, prohibits general assembly members from holding other offices during their term, and establishes a council to assess the governor's ability to perform their duties. The proposed amendments will be presented to voters during the general election on November 3, 2026, allowing the electorate to decide on the adoption of these changes, which aim to modernize the state's legal framework and enhance governance.
