Wal-Mart Stores Inc. of Bentonville, which had previously said HB1228 sends the wrong message about Arkansas, has weighed in again. This afternoon, CEO Doug McMillon tweeted the above statement, calling on Gov. Asa Hutchinson to veto the bill.
The Arkansas House gave the bill final approval this afternoon. It now heads to Hutchinson’s desk. The governor said last week that he would sign it.
