The proposed resolution seeks to amend the Arkansas Constitution to prohibit governmental bodies from using state or local funds to enter into contracts with lobbyists for lobbying purposes. Specifically, it states that no funds derived from state or local revenues can be used to pay lobbyists or membership dues to organizations that lobby on behalf of governmental bodies. However, the amendment does allow governmental bodies to employ individuals, including registered lobbyists, for lobbying activities as long as they do not use state or local funds for such contracts.

The amendment includes definitions for key terms such as "governmental body," "lobbying," and "lobbyist," and clarifies that the prohibition extends to various forms of financial compensation related to lobbying activities. The resolution stipulates that if approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment will take effect on January 1, 2027. The popular name for the amendment will be "A Constitutional Amendment Providing that a Governmental Body Shall Not Use State or Local Funds to Enter Into a Contract with a Lobbyist for the Purpose of Lobbying on Behalf of the Governmental Body."
