AI-Generated Summary
Senate Resolution 72 is a procedural measure in the Arkansas Senate authorizing Senator J. Dotson to pursue the consideration of SJR 13 as a third proposed constitutional amendment. Under the Joint Rules of the 95th General Assembly, a third constitutional amendment requires specific authorization by a two-thirds majority vote in each house before it can be considered. This resolution acts as the formal request to initiate that process. If passed, it allows the legislature to proceed with deliberations on the substance of SJR 13, which would eventually be referred to the voters for approval or rejection. The resolution does not address the content of SJR 13 itself, only the legislative authority to move forward with the amendment process.
