AI-Generated Summary

House Resolution 1114 is a procedural measure in the Arkansas House of Representatives that grants Senator Dismang authorization to pursue the consideration of Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 15 as a third proposed constitutional amendment. Under the Joint Rules of the 95th General Assembly, a third constitutional amendment requires an affirmative two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature to proceed to consideration. This resolution serves as the House's formal approval of that requirement for SJR 15. The bill itself does not outline the content or purpose of the underlying constitutional amendment (SJR 15), but rather facilitates the legislative process required to potentially place it on the ballot for the electors of Arkansas to approve or reject.

Potential Impact Analysis

Who Might Benefit?

Senator Dismang and the proponents of the underlying Senate Joint Resolution 15 benefit, as this resolution provides the necessary legislative authorization to move forward with the consideration of their proposed constitutional amendment. Additionally, the legislative process itself benefits from adherence to established Joint Rules regarding the volume of constitutional proposals.

Who Might Suffer?

There are no groups or entities directly negatively impacted by this procedural resolution. Any potential negative impact would be dependent on the content of SJR 15, which is not defined within this resolution. Legislative opponents of the underlying SJR 15 might consider this a setback to their efforts to block that specific proposal.
