The Arkansas House State Agencies & Governmental Affairs Committee will hold a hearing on HB 1247 on March 11, Wednesday, at 10 a.m., in Room 151 of the Capitol. HB 1247 changes the definition of “political party” from a group that got 3% for the office at the top of the ticket (president or governor, depending on which year it was) to 3% for any statewide office. It is possible a compromise will be reached that expands the list of offices but still doesn’t include all the statewide offices.
