Bill > SB424

This bill amends Arkansas law to enhance accountability and transparency for municipal improvement districts (MIDs) by introducing two key provisions. First, the bill requires MID boards to allow public comment on any item on the agenda before taking action at special or regular meetings, ensuring that residents have an opportunity to voice their opinions. Second, the bill modifies existing requirements for meeting notices, mandating that MID boards provide notice to all property record owners between 10 and 30 days before a meeting, and now requiring that the meeting agenda be included with the notice. The bill also slightly adjusts language about meeting frequency, specifying that districts should meet in each quarter of the calendar year. These changes aim to increase citizen engagement and improve communication between municipal improvement districts and the property owners they serve, making local government processes more open and participatory.
