Subtitle
TO URGE THE
UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO PROPOSE THE REGULATION FREEDOM AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
WHEREAS,
people throughout the country are concerned by the expansion of federal regulation
which can endanger economic growth and the creation of jobs; and
WHEREAS, polling shows that almost two-thirds (2/3) of
American voters agree that federal regulators should be more accountable to
elected officials; and
WHEREAS, under Article V of the Constitution of the United
States, amendments to the federal Constitution may be proposed by the United
States Congress whenever two-thirds (2/3) of both houses deem it necessary, or
upon the application of the legislatures of two-thirds (2/3) of the several
states the United States Congress shall call a convention for the purpose of proposing
amendments; and
WHEREAS, the House of Representatives, along with
legislators in multiple states, urge the United States Congress to propose the
Regulation Freedom Amendment in order to stop an increasingly abusive federal
regulatory regime of bureaucrats in Washington that prevent the economic growth
of our country; and
WHEREAS, the text of the Regulation Freedom Amendment reads,
"Whenever one quarter of the Members of the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate
transmit to the President their written declaration of opposition to a proposed
federal regulation, it shall require a majority vote of the House and Senate to
adopt that regulation."
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE NINETIETH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS:
THAT the House of Representatives urges the United States
Congress to propose the Regulation Freedom Amendment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT upon adoption of this
resolution, an appropriate copy be provided to the Arkansas congressional
delegation by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives.
