SCR 4 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO RECOGNIZE FORMER REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR JOYCE ELLIOTT DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH FOR HER SERVICE TO THE STATE OF ARKANSAS.

SCR 4 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing former Arkansas State Representative and Senator Joyce Elliott during Black History Month for her legislative service. It honors her 23-year career in the Arkansas legislature (2000-2023), her focus on education policy, and her founding of the civic engagement nonprofit Get Loud Arkansas. The resolution has no binding effect - it simply acknowledges her contributions through a formal commendation presented to her. This is a procedural recognition, not a policy change, and was approved by both chambers and the Governor in March 2025.
