The Arkansas attorney general’s office has cleared the way for signature-gathering by supporters of a proposed ballot measure requiring government agencies to verify that all those seeking public benefits in the state are legal U.S. residents. Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Wednesday certified the proposed constitutional amendment of Secure Arkansas, allowing the group to begin collecting the 77,468 signatures needed to put it before voters in the November 2010 general election.
