AI-Generated Summary
Senate Resolution 56 authorizes Representative Meeks to pursue the consideration of House Joint Resolution 1002 as a third proposed constitutional amendment. Under the Joint Rules of the Arkansas General Assembly, a third constitutional amendment requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members in each house to be considered. This resolution serves as the formal legislative step to allow for that specific consideration. Upon approval, HJR 1002 may proceed toward potential referral to the state's electors for final approval or rejection. The resolution does not enact the amendment itself but facilitates the parliamentary procedure necessary for it to be debated.
