The bill amends Arkansas law regarding initiative and referendum petitions by introducing a requirement for public posting of statewide initiative and referendum petitions. Specifically, it mandates that after a proposed measure has been certified by the Attorney General, sponsors must provide detailed information—including the full text of the measure, the certified ballot title, and the certified popular name—to the Secretary of State within five business days of gathering signatures. The Secretary of State is then required to post this information on their website within five days, and it must remain available until the day following the next general election, unless certain conditions are met that allow for its removal.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that empower the Secretary of State to obtain necessary information from the Attorney General if sponsors fail to submit it, and it clarifies that non-compliance by sponsors will not affect the validity of the proposed measure or signatures collected. The Attorney General retains the authority to reject misleading ballot titles and names, ensuring that voters are not misled about the nature of the measures they are voting on. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of information related to initiative and referendum petitions in Arkansas.
