Bill > SJR21

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution that would modify the vote requirements for initiated acts and constitutional amendments to be considered approved during a general election. Specifically, the resolution aims to change the current voting threshold for adopting ballot measures, though the exact details of the new vote requirement are not specified in the provided text. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Arkansas voters at the next general election for Representatives and Senators, and if a majority of electors voting on the measure approve it, the amendment would become part of the state constitution. This type of resolution is a formal method of proposing constitutional changes, requiring approval from both the state Senate and House of Representatives, with a majority of members in each chamber agreeing to place the proposed amendment on the ballot for voter consideration.
