The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution that would grant registered voters the ability to propose amendments through a petition process. This amendment aims to empower citizens by allowing them to initiate a referendum election for constitutional changes, provided they gather signatures from at least 10% of the registered voters in their county based on the most recent gubernatorial election. The proposed amendment, designated as "Amendment No. 1" and titled "Granting Citizens the Right to Amend the State Constitution Amendment," would require that any such citizen-initiated amendment receive at least 60% approval from voters in a statewide election to be ratified.

Additionally, the resolution maintains the existing legislative process for proposing constitutional amendments, which requires a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Legislature. If the amendment is approved by voters, it will take effect immediately. The resolution emphasizes the importance of citizen participation in the amendment process while ensuring that the legislative route remains intact. The proposed changes will be presented to voters during the next general election in 2026, following a publication period to inform the public about the amendment.
