The resolution requests authorization for Senator Dotson to pursue the consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 13 (SJR 13) as a third proposed constitutional amendment. According to Section 19(C) of the Joint Rules of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly, such an amendment cannot be considered or voted on until identical resolutions have been approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses of the General Assembly.
The resolution formally states that the Senate of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly of the State of Arkansas grants Senator Dotson the authority to move forward with SJR 13, which will then be referred to the state's electors for their approval or rejection. This step is necessary to advance the proposed amendment through the legislative process.
