The resolution proposes an amendment to the state Constitution that would grant the governor the authority to exercise a line-item veto on budget and appropriation bills. This amendment seeks to replace Article IX, Section 14, detailing the process by which bills passed by the general assembly are presented to the governor for approval. If the governor disapproves of a bill, they must return it with written objections, and the general assembly can override the veto with a three-fifths majority vote in both houses. Additionally, if the governor does not act on a bill within six days, it automatically becomes law unless the general assembly adjourns.

The amendment also outlines specific procedures for the governor's approval of appropriation bills, allowing the governor to reduce appropriated sums or disapprove individual items within a bill. Each disapproved item must be reconsidered separately by the general assembly. The resolution mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to the state's qualified electors for approval during the next statewide general election, with provisions for publicizing the amendment and conducting the voting process in accordance with existing laws.
