Bill Summary
AN ACT CONCERNING NOTIFICATION TO PERSONS ELECTED TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE YEARS OF SERVICE REMAINING BEFORE REACHING THE LIMITATION ON SERVICE UNDER THE ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of State to provide a mandatory notification to newly elected members of the Arkansas General Assembly within 30 days of their election certification. Specifically, the notification must inform the elected official about how many years they can still serve before reaching the term limits established by Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 73, Section 2. This provision aims to ensure that incoming legislators are immediately aware of their remaining service eligibility, helping them understand the constitutional constraints on their potential legislative tenure. The bill adds a new section (10-2-135) to Arkansas Code Title 10, Chapter 2, Subchapter 1, creating a proactive communication mechanism to keep elected officials informed about their service limitations from the outset of their election.
