HB1600

House Bill 1600 seeks to repeal Arkansas Code § 7-1-114, which currently prohibits candidates for public office and public officials from displaying campaign literature larger than 12 inches by 12 inches on their personal vehicles while parked on State Capitol grounds. The existing law mandates that the Arkansas Ethics Commission enforce these restrictions, including the imposition of fines up to $150 for violations. By repealing this section, the bill eliminates the specific prohibition and the associated regulatory authority of the Ethics Commission regarding the display of campaign materials on vehicles at the State Capitol. Consequently, candidates and public officials would no longer be subject to these specific size restrictions or related penalties while on the premises.
