Bill Summary

AN ACT TO AMEND ARKANSAS LAW CONCERNING REPORTS BY THE LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR OF IMPROPER OR ILLEGAL PRACTICES; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arkansas Code § 10-4-419(f) to modify reporting requirements for the Attorney General and prosecuting attorneys regarding improper or illegal practices identified by the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee or Legislative Auditor. Under the amended law, by June 30 each year, prosecuting attorneys must file a disposition report with the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee detailing the status of unresolved matters previously reported. Additionally, the Attorney General must now file a separate disposition report specifically covering two types of findings: those reported under subdivisions (a)(2) and (a)(3) of the section, and transactions where the Attorney General has arranged to be appointed as a special prosecutor or special deputy prosecutor. The disposition reports must include key details such as the date the matter was reported, the amount of financial loss or unaccounted funds, the current status of the investigation, and any other relevant comments. This change aims to improve transparency and accountability in tracking potential improper or illegal practices within Arkansas government entities.
