The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment known as the "Victims Bill of Rights" aimed at establishing and protecting the rights of victims of violent and sexual crimes in Arkansas. It defines a victim as an individual against whom such offenses are committed, as well as their representatives, and outlines specific rights that victims are entitled to during the criminal justice process. These rights include being treated with dignity, being informed of the status of the accused, attending court proceedings, refusing interviews or the release of personal information, and receiving restitution before court fees. The amendment emphasizes that the rights granted do not create grounds for dismissing criminal proceedings or for compensation claims against the state or its subdivisions.

The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters of Arkansas for approval in the next general election. If adopted, it will become effective on January 1, 2025. The resolution also clarifies that the enumeration of rights for victims does not limit other rights that may be granted by the General Assembly or retained by victims. Overall, the amendment seeks to enhance the legal protections and support available to victims of violent and sexual crimes within the state.
