Bill > SJR6

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment for Arkansas that would direct proceeds from medical marijuana sales (as established under Arkansas Constitution Amendment 98) and casino gaming (as established under Arkansas Constitution Amendment 100) to be deposited into the State Treasury. Specifically, these funds would be allocated to the Division of Arkansas State Police to support crime reduction and prevention programs, and to assist the Division of Community Correction in providing probation, parole, and post-release supervision services. The amendment would become part of the state constitution if approved by a majority of voters at the next general election for Representatives and Senators. This approach aims to channel revenue from newly legalized industries into public safety and offender rehabilitation efforts, potentially creating a sustainable funding mechanism for these critical services.
