The proposed joint resolution seeks to amend the Wyoming Constitution by adding Article 19, Section 12, which mandates that any storage, siting, or placement of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel in Wyoming can only occur with an affirmative vote from the state's electors. This amendment aims to ensure that the decision to store such hazardous materials is directly in the hands of the people, requiring their approval before any actions can be taken under state law.

If ratified by a majority of voters in the next general election, this amendment would establish a clear legal requirement for public consent regarding the management of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel in Wyoming. The Secretary of State is tasked with endorsing a statement that outlines the implications of this amendment, emphasizing the necessity of an affirmative vote from the electorate for any future storage of these materials.
