House Joint Resolution N, introduced on August 26, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution, specifically adding section 9 to article XI. This amendment stipulates that any elective public officer convicted of a felony while in office shall be immediately removed from their position upon conviction, resulting in the vacancy of their office. The resolution was introduced by a bipartisan group of representatives and has been referred to the Committee on Government Operations for further consideration.

The proposed amendment aims to enhance accountability among public officials by ensuring that felony convictions lead to immediate removal from office, thereby preventing any potential misuse of power or influence by convicted individuals. If approved, this amendment will be presented to the voters of Michigan during the next general election, allowing the public to decide on its implementation.
