KUAR | By Hunter Field / Arkansas Advocate
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin on Monday rejected proposed ballot language for an initiative to exempt feminine hygiene products from state sales tax.
Griffin opined that the initiative’s definition for exempted products was “ambiguous,” potentially causing a conflict for Arkansas’ membership in an interstate compact on sales tax uniformity.
The sponsor of the ballot initiative said Griffin’s denial constituted an abuse of the ballot title and popular name review process.
