Field, Hunter. Panel opposes tweaks to Arkansas public-records law; repeal of hotel, restaurant tax-records exemption urged. Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Apr. 10, 2018).
The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act Task Force on Monday voted on four proposed tweaks to the public-records law, erring on the side of more disclosure and transparency in each case. House Bills 1225, 1248, 1403 and 1662 died during last year’s legislative session, but they may be re-introduced in 2019.
