AI-Generated Summary
Senate Resolution 73 seeks to authorize Senator B. King to pursue the consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 6 (SJR 6) as a third proposed constitutional amendment. Under the Joint Rules of the 95th General Assembly, a third constitutional amendment requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members in each legislative chamber before it can be considered or voted upon. This resolution serves as the formal request and authorization necessary to proceed with that legislative process. If authorized and subsequently passed by the General Assembly, the proposed amendment would be referred to the voters of Arkansas for final approval or rejection at an election.
