HJR 1038 proposes three constitutional amendments requiring U.S. citizenship for specific state officials. It would amend Article V (legislators), Article VI (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other statewide elected offices), and Article VII (Supreme Court Justices) to explicitly state that these individuals must be U.S. citizens and cannot hold citizenship in any other country. The changes must be approved by voters in a referendum. If passed, U.S. citizenship would become a mandatory requirement for holding these state offices.
