Request for review and certification of a proposed initiated act with the popular name, “Medical Marijuana Patient Employment Protection Act.”
Brief Response: Having reviewed the text of your proposed initiated act, as well as your proposed popular name, I have concluded that I must reject your proposal. Your submission does not include a “ballot title,” which is a sufficient reason to reject your proposal. There are also ambiguities in the text of your proposed initiated act that prevent me from (1) ensuring that any ballot title would not be misleading or (2) substituting a more appropriate ballot title.
Question: Does Act 1002 prohibit the City’s Historic District Office from enforcing its Historic District guidelines/regulations upon the Pope County Courthouse?
Brief Response: No, Act 1002 withdraws a municipality’s authority to enforce municipal building and zoning regulations against qualifying county-owned property. But it does not amend, limit, or repeal the separate authority granted to local governments and historic district commissions by the Historic Districts Act.
Question: Is the custodian's decision to release the requested records with redactions consistent with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?
Brief Response: In my opinion, the custodian has correctly classified these records as personnel records that are subject to release. And the custodian has also properly redacted the employee’s personal contact information, Social Security number, date of birth, personnel number, and information related to marital status and dependents.
