Bill Summary
To Designate The Month Of April As Parliamentary Law Month In Arkansas.
AI Summary
This resolution officially designates April as Parliamentary Law Month in Arkansas, recognizing the critical importance of parliamentary procedure in maintaining democratic institutions. The resolution highlights that parliamentary procedure is essential for effective governance and democratic ideals, noting the General Assembly's constitutional authority to develop its own rules and procedures. It acknowledges the National Association of Parliamentarians' standing rule that designates April as Parliamentary Law Month, partly to commemorate Thomas Jefferson's creation of the first American manual of parliamentary procedure in 1801. The resolution also pays tribute to key figures in parliamentary procedure, specifically Henry Martyn Robert (author of Robert's Rules of Order) and Paul Mason (author of Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure), who have significantly contributed to defining formal parliamentary processes. By joining the National Association of Parliamentarians, the Arkansas State Association of Parliamentarians, and the Arkansas Pink Diamonds Electronic Unit, the House of Representatives formally recognizes and celebrates the importance of parliamentary law during the month of April.
