HONORABLE ASA HUTCHINSON,
in his Official Capacity as Governor of
the State of Arkansas, ETAL
ORDER FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF
AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
PLAINTIFFS
DEFENDANTS
PLAINTIFFS
DEFENDANTS
On the 6" day of August 2021, came on for hearing all pending motions by the parties in
the captioned cases, mid from the pleadings filed herein and the argument of counsel, the court
doth find as follows:
I . Plaintiffs' Motion for Consolidation Pursuant to Role 42(a) of the Arkansas Rules
of Civil Procedure, filed on August 5, 2021, in Little Rock School District and Marion School
District v. Honorable Asa Hutchinson, 60CV21-4763 is granted. Both cases shall hereafter be
styled as 60CV-21-4692, which is the earlier case number of the two previously separate cases.
2. The Motion to Intervene of Barry Hyde, in his Official Capacity as the County
Judge for Pulaski County and Eric Higgins, in his Official Capacity as Pulaski County Sheriff,
filed on August 5, 2021, is granted.
3. All of the moving parties allege that Act 1002 of 2021 is unconstitutional in one
or more respects and have requested relief pursuant to Rule 65 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil
Procedure.
4. The parties requested that the court issue a Temporary Restraining Order. TROs
are customarily issued without notice to any of the defendants and are viable only for a short
period of time until a hearing can be arranged. Given the parties, the constitutional issues
involved, and the fact that the court was able to expedite the matter on its calendar, the court
chose not to issue a TRO. As a hearing was held, the procedural posture shifted to being one of a
request for issuance of a preliminary and/or permanent injunction.
S. There are no allegations that the language of Act 1002 is ambiguous or reasonably
susceptible to more than one interpretation. In cases challenging the constitutionality of "plain
language" legislative enactments, it is the obligation of the courts to give the wording of such
enactments their "usual and customary meaning."
6. In cases challenging the constitutionality of legislative enactments, if there is
offending language or punctuation that can be stricken and leave a constitutional remainder, it is
the obligation of the courts to strike through the offending language or punctuation and salvage
the remainder of the legislative enactment. The courts are, however, prohibited from rewriting or
adding language to legislative enactments to make such legislative enactments constitutional.
7. Article 4, §2 of the Arkansas Constitution provides for the constitutional
separation of powers doctrine on state -related causes of action.
8. Each of the state's seventy-five counties is a "political subdivision of the state,"
which are included within the language of Act 1002 of 2021.
9. Amendment 55, §3 to the Arkansas Constitution, states-
The County Judge, in addition to other powers and duties provided
for by the Constitution and by law, shall preside over the Quorum
Court without a vote but with the power of veto; authorize and
approve disbursement of appropriated county funds; operate the
system of county roads; administer ordinances enacted by the
Quorum Court; have custody of county property; hire county
employees, except those persons employed by other elected
officials of the county. (emphasis added)
10. Amendment 80, §4 to the Arkansas Constitution, states, in part, "The Supreme
Court shall exercise general superintending control over all courts of the state..." (emphasis
added)
11. A.C.A. §12-75-107, as amended by Act 403 of 2021, legislatively delegates
emergency declaration and emergency action authority to the Governor, as the chief executive
officer of the state.
12. Act 1002 of 2021, as enacted, facially violates the separation of powers clause in
that it attempts to usurp the constitutional authority granted to county judges over county
buildings and property.
13. Act 1002 of 2021, as enacted, facially violates the separation of powers doctrine
in that it attempts to usurp the exclusive superintending authority concerning the procedure and
conduct in the courts of the state that is granted to the Arkansas Supreme Court.
14, Act 1002 of 2021, facially violates the separation of powers doctrine as it usurps
the authority specifically granted to the Governor with respect to declarations of emergency as
set forth in A.C.A. § 12-75-107 (as modified by Act 403 of2021.)
15. Act 1002 of 2021, as enacted, facially violates the equal protection provisions of
Article 2 of the Arkansas Constitution, in that it discriminates, without a rational basis, between
minors in public schools and minors in private schools.
16. All other causes of action alleging Act 1002 to be unconstitutional, by any party,
for any reason, not specifically addressed herein, are denied without prejudice. The court has
determined that resolution of such additional causes of action will require the introduction of
testimony and evidence and/or stipulation of facts by and between the parties.
17. Because there is no method by which the court can cure the unconstitutionality of
Act 1002 of 2021 without substantially rewriting such legislative enactment, it is the obligation
of the court to preliminarily declare that Act 1002 of 2021, in its entirety, is unconstitutional
under both the separation of powers clause and the equal protection clause of the Arkansas
Constitution.
18. Pending further order of this court, or of a court of superintending jurisdiction,
Act 1002 of 2021 is declared unconstitutional and its application, in any manner, is hereby
preliminarily enjoined.
IT 1S SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED.
