Sales Tax, FOIA Groups File for 2026 Ballot

by Kristin Higgins - July 25, 2024

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin on July 18 certified the wording of a proposed constitutional amendment and a proposed state law, which means sponsors can start collecting voter signatures.

Certified Ballot Titles

The proposed state law to remove sales tax on period products and diapers had a shorter name for the 2024 ballot, and a shorter name submitted to the Attorney General's Office for the 2026 ballot. However, the opinion prepared by Senior Assistant Attorney General Kelly Summerside substituted the more descriptive title.
