Proposing an amendment to the Maine Constitution to establish the State Auditor as a constitutional officer.

This resolution proposes to amend the Constitution of Maine to establish the State Auditor as a constitutional officer. The amendment would require the State Auditor to be chosen quadrennially by joint ballot of the Senators and Representatives in convention. If approved by voters, the amendment would become part of the Maine Constitution. The Secretary of State would prepare ballots for the statewide election, and the Governor would review the returns to determine if the amendment is ratified.
