The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia that would allow registered voters to initiate a constitutional amendment through a petition process. This process would require a petition to gather signatures from at least ten percent of the registered voters in a county, based on the votes cast for the Office of Governor in the most recent general election. If the petition is validated, the proposed amendment would be placed on the ballot for the next general election, where it would need to receive at least sixty percent approval from voters to be ratified.

Additionally, the resolution maintains the existing legislative process for proposing constitutional amendments, ensuring that both citizens and the Legislature have the ability to initiate changes to the state constitution. The proposed amendment is designated as "Amendment No. 1" and is summarized as enabling the people of West Virginia to propose amendments through a petition process, thereby enhancing citizen participation in the legislative process. The amendment aims to empower voters while preserving the current legislative framework for constitutional amendments.
