Constitution Revision Study Makes Arkansas Commission Rejec ts Voting Age and Unicameral Legislature
The Arkansas Constitutional Revision Study Commission rejected proposals to lower the voting age and to create a unicameral legislature. It did not rule on contentious issues like horse race betting, Right to Work, or interest rate ceilings, but approved several changes such as shorter legislative sessions, shifting budget votes to simple majorities, and broader search and seizure rules. The panel also urged allowing atheists to hold state office, letting the legislature call itself into special session, no term limits for lawmakers, and voting rights for residents moving to Arkansas 20 days before national elections.
