Senate Joint Resolution J proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution to change the nominating process for the offices of secretary of state and attorney general. Starting January 1, 2027, these positions would be nominated through primary elections rather than by party conventions. Additionally, the resolution stipulates that any vacancies in these offices would be filled by gubernatorial appointment.

The resolution also seeks to modify the governance structure of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University. It proposes that the governor appoint members to the governing boards of these institutions for eight-year terms, with the advice and consent of the state senate, beginning January 1, 2027. Current board members elected before this date may complete their terms but will be eligible for appointment thereafter. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters at the next general election.
