Arkansas Legislature Passes Measure Establishing Day of Prayer for Arkansas’ Students
On Tuesday the Arkansas House of Representatives passed S.B. 662.
This good bill by Sen. Ricky Hill (R – Cabot), Sen. Missy Irvin (R – Mountain View), and Rep. Cameron Cooper (R – Romance) establishes the last Wednesday of September as a Day of Prayer for Arkansas Students every year.
The bill unanimously passed the Arkansas Senate already.
S.B. 662 calls on the citizens to “pray, meditate, or otherwise reflect upon” students, teachers, school administrators, and schools across the state. It is similar to a law in Kentucky.
It’s a really simple bill, but it’s a really good measure that does a lot.
It now goes to the governor to become law.
