Resolution, Proposing An Amendment To The Constitution Of Maine To Establish The State Auditor As A Constitutional Officer

This bill proposes amending Maine's Constitution to establish the State Auditor as a constitutional officer, meaning the position would be defined directly in the state constitution rather than by statute. It would require the State Auditor to be elected every four years by a joint vote of the Senate and House of Representatives, with vacancies during legislative recesses filled by the Senate President. The amendment must then be approved by voters in a statewide referendum, where they would vote "Yes" or "No" on the question: "Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to establish the State Auditor as a constitutional officer?" If ratified, the change would take effect after the referendum.
