The Senate Joint Resolution D, introduced on June 26, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically targeting Article VIII, Section 4. The amendment aims to update the list of public universities in the state, which includes institutions such as the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and others, while also ensuring that the governing boards of these universities hold open meetings accessible to the public. This change is intended to enhance transparency and accountability within the state's higher education system.

The resolution mandates that the legislature will continue to provide annual financial reports detailing the income and expenditures of these educational institutions. Furthermore, the proposed amendment will be presented to the citizens of Michigan for approval during the next general election, allowing the public to have a say in the governance and oversight of public universities in the state.
