It was the first General Assembly to use redistricted legislative districts from the 1930 United States Census.

Governor Parnell sought approval from the legislature to send a government reorganization plan to the voters.

However, a rump group of 69 House members persisted until the Arkansas Supreme Court disbanded the proceedings on April 14.

Eighteen senators were lawyers, five were farmers, three were merchants, with one each listing their occupation as: cotton buyer, insurance man, editor, banker, manufacturer, minister, car dealer, and doctor.

Thirty-three members of the House were lawyers, with 21 farmers, 5 insurance men, 4 teachers, 4 doctors, 4 bankers, and three ministers.
