AI-Generated Summary

House Resolution 1119 serves as a procedural motion within the Arkansas House of Representatives to grant Senator King authorization to bring forth SJR 6 for consideration 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 to move forward. This resolution acts as the formal request from the House to satisfy that procedural requirement. If passed, it allows the legislature to deliberate on SJR 6 for potential referral to voters. The resolution itself does not change state law or the content of the proposed amendment; it only facilitates the internal legislative process for consideration.

Potential Impact Analysis

Who Might Benefit?

The primary beneficiaries are Senator King and the proponents of SJR 6, as the resolution provides the necessary procedural authorization to advance their proposed amendment through the legislative process.

Who Might Suffer?

No specific group is directly and negatively impacted by this procedural resolution, though individuals or groups who oppose the advancement of SJR 6 may be negatively affected by the removal of a procedural barrier to its consideration.
