The resolution proposes an amendment to Article IV of the Washington State Constitution, which would require that any appointment made by the governor to the state Supreme Court must be confirmed by a majority vote of the state Senate. In cases where the Senate is not in session at the time of the appointment, the appointee would serve on an interim basis until the Senate can convene for confirmation, but this interim period would not exceed 30 days after the next session begins. If the Senate fails to confirm the appointment, it would become void, necessitating the governor to nominate a new candidate for confirmation.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that the Secretary of State publish notice of this proposed constitutional amendment in legal newspapers across the state at least four times in the four weeks leading up to the election, ensuring that voters are informed about the amendment before they cast their ballots.
