HB1387

House Bill 1387 amends the Water Authority Act in Arkansas to increase transparency regarding the leadership of public water authorities. The bill mandates that the board of directors for any public water authority must publish their contact information, specifically their name and telephone number. This information is required to be posted on both the public water authority’s own website and the website of the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission. Additionally, the legislation requires that any updates to this contact information be made within ten business days of a change. The overall intent of the act is to ensure that board members are more accessible and accountable to the public they serve.
