The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia that aims to remove the offices of auditor and treasurer and replace them with the office of comptroller. This amendment would modify several sections of Article VII and Article XII of the state constitution, specifically sections 1, 2, and 17 of Article VII, as well as section 4 of Article XII. The proposed changes would redefine the executive department to include the governor, secretary of state, comptroller, commissioner of agriculture, and attorney general, while also outlining the process for filling vacancies in these offices.
The resolution mandates that the question of ratification or rejection of this amendment be presented to the voters during the next general election in 2026. It is designated as "Amendment No. 1" and is summarized as "Removing the offices of auditor and treasurer and substituting comptroller in their place." The resolution includes specific language changes, with strike-throughs indicating text to be removed and underscoring indicating new text to be added, reflecting the proposed structural changes to the state's executive framework.
