The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arkansas Constitution aimed at fully abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude in the state. Currently, Article 2, Section 27 of the Arkansas Constitution allows for slavery and involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime. The amendment seeks to repeal this exception, reflecting the moral and legal values of Arkansas citizens and promoting the idea that individuals who are incarcerated should be compensated for their labor to facilitate their reintegration into society.

If approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment will remove the provision that permits slavery and involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime, thereby ensuring that no form of slavery exists in Arkansas. The amendment is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and will be presented to voters under the title "A Constitutional Amendment to Repeal the Exception to the Prohibition of Slavery and Involuntary Servitude."
