State Senator Trent Garner's amendment would stop funding for an Arkansas office in China and urged to use the tax dollars to invest in Arkansas businesses.
Garner tweeted out the amendment, saying it was "time to hold China accountable for the #WuhanVirus in Arkansas and to move away from our dependency on them for vital goods like PPE mask." The use of the terms "China virus" and "Wuhan virus" by Garner and U.S. Senator Tom Cotton has been called both xenophobic and racist by critics.
