JOINT RESOLUTION APPROVE AND PUBLISH AND SUBMIT TO THE ELECTORS A PROPOSITION OF AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION -- OF QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICE

Summary

The joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would bar anyone from serving as governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, or general treasurer unless they have lived in Rhode Island and been a registered voter for at least two continuous years before taking office. It must be approved by voters in the next statewide general election. The change aims to ensure that senior state leaders have a recent, established connection to the state.
