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

SB 434, known as the "Protect Our Constitution Act," aimed to change the vote threshold required for approval of constitutional amendments in Arkansas. The bill proposed to amend Article 5, Section 1 of the Arkansas Constitution. If enacted, it would have required constitutional amendments referred to voters to be approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast, instead of a simple majority. This change would have directly affected how future amendments to the state's constitution are adopted by Arkansas voters.
