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 for lobbying purposes, provided that such employment does not involve the use of state or local funds.

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. If approved by a majority of voters in the next general election, the amendment will take effect on January 1, 2027. The resolution also establishes a ballot title and popular name for the amendment, which emphasizes the restriction on the use of public funds for lobbying activities.
