Bill > SJR19

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution that would exempt food and food ingredients from the excise tax currently imposed under Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 75. The resolution would be submitted to Arkansas voters at the next general election for Representatives and Senators, and if a majority of voters approve the amendment, it will become part of the state constitution. By passing this amendment, the state would remove the tax burden on food purchases, potentially making groceries more affordable for Arkansas residents. The resolution follows the standard process for constitutional amendments in Arkansas, which requires approval by both the Senate and House of Representatives, and then ratification by voters.
