A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE THAT CERTAIN PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND CASINO GAMING SHALL BE USED FOR CRIME REDUCTION AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND ASSISTANCE FOR POST-RELEASE SUPERVISION SERVICES.

SJR 6 proposes a constitutional amendment in Arkansas to dedicate specific state funds. If passed, it would direct certain tax revenues from medical marijuana sales and casino gaming into the State Treasury. These funds would be specifically used by the Arkansas State Police for crime reduction and prevention initiatives. Additionally, the money would support the Division of Community Correction in providing probation, parole, and post-release supervision services.
