AI-Generated Summary

Senate Bill 382 proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code § 15-5-1110, which currently mandates that the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) submit an annual financial report regarding the Capital Access Fund. The bill eliminates the statutory requirement for the ADFA to prepare and submit reports concerning the financial condition, results, and economic impact of the Arkansas Capital Access Program for Small Business and the Arkansas Credit Reserve Program to the Governor and the Legislative Council. The primary purpose of this legislation is to reduce the administrative and reporting requirements imposed upon the ADFA.

Potential Impact Analysis

Who Might Benefit?

The primary beneficiary is the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA), which would experience a reduction in administrative labor and oversight requirements by no longer needing to compile and submit the specified annual reports.

Who Might Suffer?

The Legislative Council and the Office of the Governor may be negatively impacted, as they will lose a recurring, mandated source of information regarding the financial status and economic performance of the Capital Access Fund and associated credit programs. Additionally, transparency advocates or stakeholders who rely on these public reports to evaluate the effectiveness of state-sponsored credit programs may lose access to this specific reporting mechanism.
