TO CREATE THE "PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION ACT"; AND AMENDING A PORTION OF THE ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION AS AUTHORIZED BY ARKANSAS CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 5, § 1.

Senate Bill 586, titled the "Protect Our Constitution Act," proposed to amend Article 5, Section 1 of the Arkansas Constitution. This bill would have changed the voting threshold required for a constitutional amendment to be approved by Arkansas voters. Instead of needing a simple majority of votes cast, a constitutional amendment would have required approval by at least two-thirds of the votes cast. This change would have directly affected how future constitutional amendments referred to the people could be ratified.
