Attorney General Leslie Rutledge recertified a changed ballot title for an initiated act that would amend Arkansas' campaign finance laws to require uniform reporting of independent campaign expenditures and the disclosure of donors to outside groups that spend more than $2,000 on political advertisements.
David Couch, a Little Rock attorney who submitted the changed ballot title text, said it clarifies that the disclosure requirements would apply to ballot and legislative questions in addition to candidates.
The popular name of the proposal remains "The Campaign Finance Act of 2016."
The attorney general's opinion is No. 2015-083.
