The resolution proposes an amendment to Article II, Section 1 of the Washington State Constitution, which aims to enhance the legislative authority of the people. It establishes that the people reserve the right to propose and enact laws independently of the legislature through initiatives and referendums. The amendment outlines the procedures for filing initiative petitions, including the required number of signatures and deadlines for submission. It also details the process for referendums, allowing voters to challenge any act passed by the legislature, with specific provisions for tax-related legislation that would automatically trigger a referendum.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that any law subject to a referendum will not take effect until 90 days after the legislative session in which it was enacted. It ensures that laws approved by voters cannot be amended or repealed by the legislature for two years unless a two-thirds majority is achieved. The resolution mandates that the Secretary of State publicize the proposed constitutional amendment and provide voters with information on the measures before the election. This amendment aims to empower citizens in the legislative process and ensure transparency and accountability in governance.
