Attorney General Tim Griffin on Monday rejected four proposals for ballot language for the Arkansas Citizens for Transparency Committee's second iteration of a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at strengthening the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
The committee submitted four proposed popular names and ballot titles for a proposed constitutional amendment on Dec. 20, after Griffin rejected the committee's initial proposed ballot language for its proposed constitutional amendment on Dec. 11.
The proposed popular names include the Open Meetings and Open Records in State and Local Government Amendment, the Arkansas Government Transparency Amendment, the Arkansas Government Disclosure Amendment, and the Arkansas Government Openness Amendment.
Griffin said in four letters dated Monday to two attorneys for the committee that he must reject the proposed popular names and ballot titles because of "three sets of problems," and asked them to redesign the proposed constitutional amendment, popular name and ballot title.
