The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State to grant the governor a line-item veto on budget and appropriation bills. This amendment introduces new provisions to Section 14, allowing the governor to approve a bill while reducing specific sums of money or disapproving individual items within the bill. The resolution outlines the process for the General Assembly to override the governor's veto, requiring a three-fifths majority vote in both houses for any measures to become law despite the governor's objections.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that this proposed amendment be submitted to the state's qualified electors for approval during the next statewide general election. It includes provisions for the publication of the amendment in local newspapers and the proper conduct of town, ward, and district meetings to ensure that voters are informed and can participate in the decision-making process regarding this significant change to the state's budgetary powers.
