The Senate Joint Resolution K, introduced on July 1, 2026, proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution of 1963. This amendment seeks to modify section 14 of article V and add section 31 to the same article, specifically prohibiting the governor, lieutenant governor, or the director of a state department from using autopens to sign official documents. The resolution emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and direct involvement in the signing of significant state actions, such as bills, executive orders, and decisions regarding reprieves, commutations, or pardons.

If approved, this amendment will be presented to the citizens of Michigan during the next general election, allowing voters to decide on the proposed changes to the state constitution. The resolution reflects a legislative intent to ensure that key state officials maintain a hands-on approach in their duties, thereby enhancing transparency and responsibility in governance.
