The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of West Virginia that aims to enhance the legislative powers of the state's citizens by formally reserving the rights of initiative, referendum, and recall. This amendment would allow registered voters to propose new laws and constitutional amendments, reject statutes enacted by the Legislature, and recall elected officials through a petition process. The proposed changes include specific procedures for initiating these actions, such as the required number of signatures from registered voters and the timeline for filing petitions. The amendment also outlines limitations on the types of legislation that can be proposed and establishes that the power of initiative and referendum is not subject to gubernatorial veto.

The resolution mandates that the proposed amendment be presented to the voters of West Virginia during the general election in 2028. It includes detailed provisions for how the initiative and referendum processes will be governed, including the need for legislative oversight to ensure compliance with the law. Additionally, the amendment emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of these processes and allows for the Legislature to enact laws that facilitate the execution of these rights while ensuring that the citizens' ability to petition their government remains intact. The amendment is designated as "Amendment No. 1" and is summarized as enabling the people of West Virginia to reserve the powers of initiative, referendum, and recall.
