On Thursday, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin approved ballot language for a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at safeguarding the state’s Open Meetings Law.This action will allow Arkansans for a Free Press to begin collecting signatures in their effort to get the measure on the ballot for the 2026 general election.

If approved, the amendment would create a right to government transparency for citizens and make it more difficult for the legislature to amend the Freedom of Information Act.
