  • In the Legislature: a deadline for Constitutional Amendments; abortion rights; and  sanctuary campuses.
     
  • Legislation in Arkansas to require online retailers to collect sales tax is moving forward, but a separate effort in Washington D.C. has a tougher road. Update: Amazon voluntarily said it will begin collecting sales tax in Arkansas starting in March.
