Article II of the US Constitution gives state legislatures plenary authority to appoint electors. This has been upheld by US Supreme Court decisions in 1877 and 2000. The governor of a state has no authority to intervene in this matter.

A resolution is a parliamentary maneuver handling a matter without going to a state's governor. That is the correct way of the legislature exercising its authority to appoint electors.

If this resolution has authority over the electors then fine ! Great !

If it has no more authority then one of the typical resolutions that state legislature pass to show they are nice, caring, fun guys & gals then why bother.
