The Senate Joint Resolution E proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically targeting sections related to the state budget process. The amendment mandates that all general appropriation bills for the upcoming fiscal period must be enacted by a specified date. If these budget bills are not passed by that deadline, the resolution stipulates that the salaries of state legislators and the governor will be suspended until the bills are enacted. This change aims to ensure timely budget approvals and accountability among state officials.

The resolution outlines the necessary amendments to Article IV, Article V, and Article IX of the state constitution, defining key terms such as "applicable date," "enacted," and "salary." It emphasizes the importance of passing budget bills before any other appropriations and requires the governor to submit a detailed budget to the legislature. The proposed amendment will be presented to the citizens of Michigan for approval during the next general election, reflecting a push for more efficient governance and fiscal responsibility.
