Bill Summary · SCR 6

Legislative bill overview

Senate Concurrent Resolution 6 is a ceremonial bill recognizing the North Little Rock High School Charging Wildcats varsity cheer team for winning the Class 6A state championship. The resolution was introduced by three Arkansas legislators and passed through both chambers before receiving gubernatorial approval in April 2025.

Why is this important

While ceremonial in nature, such resolutions serve to officially acknowledge student athletic achievement at the state level and provide public recognition for the team's accomplishment. These resolutions become part of the legislative record and allow the state government to formally honor constituents' achievements.

Potential points of contention

  • Legislative time allocation: Some argue that using legislative resources for ceremonial resolutions diverts attention from substantive policy matters, though others view recognition as an appropriate government function
  • Selectivity concerns: Questions about why certain teams receive state recognition while others do not, and whether the criteria for such honors are equitable across schools and sports
  • Scope of legislative authority: Debate over whether legislatures should spend time on ceremonial recognitions versus focusing exclusively on policy and budgetary matters
