Changes

Representative Malone in 2013 joined the majority to override the [[veto]]es of Democratic Governor [[Mike Beebe]] to enact legislation to require photo identification for casting a ballot in Arkansas and to ban [[abortion]] after twenty weeks of [[gestation]]. Malone supported or co-sponsored related [[pro-life]] legislation to ban abortion whenever fetal heartbeat is detected, to forbid the inclusion of abortion in the state insurance exchange, and to make the death of an unborn child a [[felony]] in certain cases. She co-sponsored a spending cap in the state budget, but the measure failed to gain approval by two votes in the House. Malone backed the bill to empower university officials to engage in concealed carry of firearms in the name of campus safety. Similarly, she co-sponsored legislation to allow officials in churches and religious institutions to be armed with concealed weapons. She voted to prohibit the governor from regulating firearms in an emergency. Malone supported legislation to make the office of prosecuting attorney in Arkansas non-partisan. She did not vote on the bill, signed by then Governor Beebe, to permit the sale of up to five hundred gallons per month of [[pasteurization|unpasteurized]] whole milk directly from the farm to consumers. She voted against a failed proposal to prohibit the closure of schools based on declining enrollments over a two-year period. She voted for the tiered system of lottery-funded scholarships.<ref name=votingrecords/>
