HB1410

House Bill 1410 amends Arkansas law regarding prohibited activities by public servants. The bill specifically adds a provision prohibiting public employees from providing advance notice of a government inspection to any person or entity if the intent is to improperly influence the outcome of that inspection. It defines prohibited actions as knowingly communicating information about the timing, scope, or details of an inspection to help an entity evade detection of noncompliance, gain an unfair advantage, or interfere with the impartiality of the process. Public employees found in violation of this provision face disciplinary actions, including suspension or termination. The bill clarifies that this prohibition does not apply to routine scheduling required by law, public safety notifications, or legitimate administrative communications.
