AR SJR1

Repeals the fiscal session of the Arkansas General Assembly, eliminating the separate February session in even-numbered years that was limited to appropriation bills.

Reduces regular sessions to occur every 2 years instead of annually, with the General Assembly meeting on the second Monday in January of odd-numbered years.

Limits regular biennial sessions to 60 calendar days (extendable to 75 days by two-thirds vote), down from previous limits that included separate fiscal sessions.

Changes appropriation authority from one-year to two-year periods, effective December 31, 2018, allowing the General Assembly to make appropriations for up to two fiscal years at a time.

Preserves the Governor's authority to call special sessions and becomes effective January 1, 2019, pending voter approval at the next general election.
