Ethics violation[edit]
During the 93rd Arkansas General Assembly, Senators Mark Johnson (R-15th) and Alan Clark (R-13th) were punished for violating Senate Ethics rules on July 21, 2022. Johnson signed a sign-in sheet for Clark during a meeting he did not attend, and subsequently requested reimbursement.[3] Both were also stripped of committee leadership posts.[4]
