This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment for the state of Arkansas that aims to allocate specific proceeds from the sale of medical marijuana and casino gaming towards crime reduction and prevention initiatives. The funds generated from these activities would be directed into the State Treasury and utilized by the Division of Arkansas State Police to support various crime prevention programs. Additionally, the amendment seeks to assist the Division of Community Correction in enhancing services related to probation, parole, and post-release supervision.
The resolution outlines that the proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters during the next general election for their approval or rejection. If a majority of voters support the amendment, it will be incorporated into the Arkansas Constitution, thereby establishing a dedicated funding source for crime-related services and programs aimed at improving public safety and supporting individuals transitioning from incarceration.
