AR HR1031

Arkansas House of Representatives urges U.S. Congress to propose the Regulation Freedom Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The proposed amendment would require a majority vote of the House and Senate to adopt any federal regulation against which one-quarter of members in either chamber submit written opposition to the President.

Resolution expresses concern that expansion of federal regulation endangers economic growth and job creation, and notes that polling shows approximately two-thirds of American voters support greater accountability of federal regulators to elected officials.

Resolution recognizes Article V of the Constitution allows amendments to be proposed by Congress or upon application of two-thirds of state legislatures calling a constitutional convention.

Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives shall provide a copy of the resolution to Arkansas's congressional delegation upon adoption.
