Senate Joint Resolution 37 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to specify that an announcement by certain elected county or district officeholders of candidacy for another office, or such candidacy itself, constitutes an automatic resignation of the office then held if the announcement or candidacy occurs at any time when the officeholder's unexpired term exceeds one year and 30 days, rather than one year.
Senate Joint Resolution 37 makes the submission of the constitutional amendment proposed by the resolution to the voters contingent on the secretary of state certifying that an enactment of the 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, that became law provides for a filing deadline for an application for a place on the general primary ballot that occurs in the calendar year before the year in which the primary is held.
