The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia, specifically to section 19 of article VI, which governs the convening of the Legislature by the governor. The amendment stipulates that the governor must issue a proclamation convening the Legislature at least five days prior to the actual convening date. This change aims to ensure that there is adequate notice for the Legislature's special sessions, enhancing transparency and allowing for better preparation among lawmakers and the public.

The resolution has been agreed upon by two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the West Virginia Legislature and will be submitted to voters for ratification or rejection during the general election in 2026. The proposed amendment is designated as "Amendment No. 1" and is referred to as the "Notice of Convening of Special Session of the Legislature Amendment." The summary of the amendment emphasizes its purpose of requiring advance notice for the convening of special sessions, thereby promoting a more organized legislative process.
