To eliminate the offices of Treasurer and Auditor, replacing their duties and responsibilities under a new Office of Comptroller.
HJR 3 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace the separate offices of State Treasurer and State Auditor with a single Office of Comptroller. This change would combine the financial oversight duties currently split between these two positions into one role, affecting how state finances are managed and reported. The amendment would update the state constitution to remove references to "Treasurer" and "Auditor" and substitute "Comptroller" in all relevant sections, including those governing the school fund board and executive appointments. The proposal requires voter approval in the 2026 general election to take effect.
