This bill amends Arkansas law regarding initiative and referendum petitions by introducing new requirements for public transparency. 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, ensuring that it remains accessible until the day following the next general election, unless certain conditions are met that allow for its removal.

Additionally, the bill allows the Secretary of State to independently obtain and post information about proposed measures if sponsors fail to comply with the submission requirements. It also clarifies that any non-compliance by sponsors will not affect the validity of the proposed measure or the signatures collected. The Attorney General retains the authority to reject misleading ballot titles and popular names, ensuring that voters are not confused about the measures they are voting on. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the transparency and accountability of the initiative and referendum process in Arkansas.
