On March 12, SB209 and SB210 were signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
SB210 mandates that a circulator read the summary of the initiative to any potential signer. Sometimes the summary is long and detailed and can require as much as five minutes to be read aloud. If the circulator doesn’t obey this law, it will be considered a criminal act.
SB209 says that if a petitioner is found to have committed any crimes, none of the signatures he or she obtained are valid.
There are other bills that were recently passed in Arkansas that greatly injure the initiative process. The sponsor of all these bills was Senator Kim Hammer (R-Benton).
BAN has learned that there is likely to be upcoming litigation challenging the constitutionality of these and the other Arkansas anti-initiative laws that were covered in the April 1 edition of Ballot Access News.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Thursday that the Trump administration is required to “facilitate” the release of a Maryland man who was wrongly deported to an El Salvador prison.
The court partly granted and partly rejected an emergency request filed by the Justice Department contesting a judge’s order that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be retrieved from a prison in El Salvador where he was sent March 15 along with men alleged to be Venezuelan gang members.
“The rule of law won today. Time to bring him home,” Andrew Rossman, one of Abrego Garcia’s lawyers, said in an email.

Little wonder that now olde bill/hillary Clintons got the Hell OUT of Arkland years ago —
leaving the arkies to ROT even more.
What southern States are still in 1860-1861 frozen time mode — besides ARKLAND ???
Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.
If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.
