This resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State, specifically Article IV, Section 1, which pertains to elections and campaign finance. The amendment aims to establish four-year terms for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney-general, general treasurer, and members of the general assembly, starting with elections held in 1994 and continuing every four years thereafter. Additionally, it introduces a term limit for general assembly members, restricting them to a maximum of three consecutive four-year terms, beginning with the elections in 2028. The resolution also outlines the process for recalling general officers under specific circumstances, including felony indictments or ethical violations, detailing the requirements for initiating a recall petition and the subsequent election process.

The resolution mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to the qualified electors of the State for their approval during the next statewide general election. It includes provisions for publicizing the amendment through local newspapers and ensuring that the voting process aligns with existing laws governing elections. The legislative council emphasizes the importance of this amendment in promoting accountability and limiting the duration of service for elected officials, thereby enhancing the democratic process within the state.
