A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT PERMITTING THE STATE OF ARKANSAS TO BE SUED AS A DEFENDANT IN STATE COURT TO ENFORCE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OR AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW.

SJR 9 proposes a constitutional amendment in Arkansas to change Article 5, Section 20 of the state's constitution. If approved by voters, this amendment would permit the State of Arkansas to be sued as a defendant in state court. This change would allow individuals to bring lawsuits against the state to enforce constitutional rights or as otherwise provided by law.
