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 has been introduced by a 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 those convicted of serious crimes are promptly removed from their roles, thereby maintaining the integrity of public office. If approved, this amendment will be presented to the voters of Michigan during the next general election, allowing the public to decide on its adoption.
