2021 Legislative Summary Published
2021 ARKANSAS LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY Public Affairs & Government Relations Stanley Hill Jessica Clowser Burkham Vice President Director, Policy Development Public Affairs & Government Relations (501) 251-7853 | [email protected] (501) 831-5564 | [email protected] Philip Powell Matt King Assistant Director, Director Local Affairs & Rural Development (501) 519-4297 | [email protected] (501) 366-0110 | [email protected] Jeff Pitchford Catrinia Rojas Director, State Affairs Assistant (501) 350-3262 | [email protected] (501) 228-1305 | [email protected] While the 93rd General Assembly was a successful session for agriculture, it was missing something – You. This session was more difficult because Covid-19 restrictions prevented us from having Farmers Day at the Capitol and did not allow for County Legislative Breakfasts on the weekends. Despite not being able to have a physical presence, Farm Bureau leaders are persistent and when there was a call to action, legislators told us to “call off the dogs, we got your message." This produced multiple legislative successes for ArFB members, including: • The reinstatement of a State Meat Inspection Program • Improvements to Levee and Drainage District structures • Expansion of Rural Broadband Authority • Updates to the State Plant Board appointment process In total, the General Assembly met for 108 days, where they filed 1,675 bills including 42 proposed constitutional amendments. The state legislature approved three constitutional amendments to send to Arkansas voters for their consideration on the November 2022 ballot. • HJR1005: “Constitutional Amendment and Ballot Initiative Reform Amendment” - Requires sixty percent approval in each chamber to refer a constitutional amendment to the ballot and sixty percent approval by the electors to adopt a referred amendment or an amendment submitted through the initiative process.

2011 Political Contributions
2011 POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS 2011 Lilly Political Contributions 2 Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at both the state and federal levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees. Corporate Political Contribution Elected officials, no matter what level, have an impact on public policy issues affecting Lilly. We are committed to backing candidates who support public policies that contribute to pharmaceutical innovation and healthy patients. A number of factors are considered when reviewing candidates for support. The following evaluation criteria are used to allocate political contributions: • Has the candidate historically voted or announced positions on issues of importance to Lilly, such as pharmaceutical innovation and health care? • Has the candidate demonstrated leadership on key committees of importance to our business? • Does the candidate demonstrate potential for legislative leadership?
