Proposing an amendment to the Maine Constitution to change the confirmation process for certain judicial, civil, and military officers.

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Maine Constitution to alter the confirmation process for certain judicial, civil, and military officers. The amendment would allow the Senate to confirm nominations by a two-thirds vote. The Secretary of State would prepare ballots for a statewide election in November to vote on the amendment. If approved, the Governor would proclaim the amendment's adoption, making it part of the Maine Constitution.
