Arkansas Online: The House gave final approval Monday to a bill aimed at resurrecting the requirements of a voter-identification law that was struck down by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2014.
House Bill 1047, by Rep. Mark Lowery, R-Maumelle, heads to the governor's desk after the House in a 73-12 vote concurred with several Senate amendments.
Amendment 51 to the Arkansas Constitution authorizes lawmakers to amend voter-registration measures if at least two-thirds of both houses of the General Assembly approve the changes.
