This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania regarding the appointing power of the Governor. Specifically, it seeks to amend section 8 of Article IV by adding a new subsection that stipulates that until a nomination for appointment has received the necessary Senate consent, the nominated individual is prohibited from executing orders, promulgating regulations, or issuing guidance or directives that affect individuals outside of the department for which they have been nominated. This restriction does not apply to the certification of elections.

The resolution outlines the procedural steps for the proposed constitutional amendment, which includes two passages by the General Assembly and subsequent compliance with advertising requirements as specified in Article XI of the Pennsylvania Constitution. Following these steps, the Secretary of the Commonwealth is tasked with submitting the amendment to the qualified electors during the next general or municipal election.
