The resolution amends the Rules of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-Fourth General Assembly of Arkansas, specifically addressing the introduction of bills related to the State and Public School Life and Health Insurance Program. It establishes that such bills must be introduced within the first fifteen calendar days of a regular session, with provisions for extending this deadline if the General Assembly recesses for more than three consecutive days. Additionally, any bill introduced after this period requires a three-fourths vote approval from both houses. The resolution also stipulates that bills affecting the insurance program cannot be considered during fiscal or extraordinary sessions without a two-thirds vote from both houses.

Furthermore, the resolution revises the definition and requirements for fiscal impact statements related to proposed laws. It mandates that bills imposing new or increased costs on the State and Public School Life and Health Insurance Program must include a fiscal impact statement before being considered by the committee or the House. If a fiscal impact statement is not provided, members can object to the bill's final passage until the statement is prepared. The resolution also outlines specific requirements for bills related to scholarships funded by state lottery proceeds, ensuring that they include a lottery fiscal impact statement before being taken up by the relevant committees.
