The proposed resolution seeks to amend the Arkansas Constitution by introducing the "Arkansas Victims' Bill of Rights," which aims to establish and protect the rights of victims of both misdemeanor and felony offenses within the adult and juvenile justice systems. The amendment defines a victim as any individual directly harmed by an offense, including their legal guardians or representatives, and outlines a comprehensive list of rights that victims are entitled to during the criminal justice process. These rights include being treated with dignity, protection from intimidation, the ability to confer with prosecuting attorneys, and the right to be informed about the proceedings and outcomes related to their case.

Additionally, the amendment stipulates that victims have the standing to assert their rights in court, while also clarifying that defendants cannot assert the rights of their victims. It emphasizes that the rights granted to victims do not diminish any other rights they may possess and allows for the General Assembly to enact further measures to ensure these rights are upheld. The amendment is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, pending approval from the electorate during the next general election.
