A long public tax measure from 1932 outlines a one percent General Sales Tax in Arkansas, plus licensing and collection rules, exemptions, and administration. It details license fees, penalties, stamp prepayments, electoral procedures, and related provisions for public finance and enforcement.
The measure defines the majority and minority party in Arkansas by the largest and second largest vote getters for governor in the previous general election. It creates a three member State Board of Election Commissioners with one member chosen by each party’s state central committee within a year of each general election and at least sixty days before state officer elections. The chairman and secretary must file election certificates within fifteen days after their election. The third commissioner shall be the Secretary of State.
Text details a July 9 1972 ballot proposal Amendment No 2 to limit state road bond issuance to two thirds approval. It outlines exceptions for refunding bonds and for federal aid matching, and notes ballot title Amendment No 20 with FOR and AGAINST positions.
Fragmentary OCR notes outline a proposed amendment and section phrasing regarding homesteads. The readable portion mentions a homestead and references an amendment process but lacks full context, scope, or governing authority details to specify actions, dates, or affected parties.
The amendment packs measures for a bi partite legislature, four year terms for executive state officers, recall of elected executives, prohibition on new boards and commissions, and centralized funds control. It sets assembly sessions every two years, outlines first session funding limits, and recalls rules requiring 20 percent of voters and county petitions, with eligibility constraints for governor.
