Term limits groups challenge new Arkansas initiative limits

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Supporters of an effort to impose stricter term limits
on Arkansas legislators have filed a lawsuit challenging new restrictions placed
on initiative campaigns. Arkansas Term Limits, U.S. Term Limits and Liberty
Initiative Fund on Thursday asked a federal judge to strike down the new
restrictions that were approved this year by the state Legislature. The
restrictions include a requirement that signature gatherers be residents of the
state, and another prohibiting campaigns form paying gatherers per signature.
The groups say the limits are unconstitutional and hamper citizens’ ability to
put measure on the ballot.
