SB410

Senate Bill 410 mandates that former state employees and former elected officials disclose certain professional activities to the Arkansas Ethics Commission for a period of four years following the conclusion of their service. Specifically, these individuals must report if they accept employment with, or sell goods to, any entity that was awarded a contract by their former state agency or office during their tenure. The bill requires an initial disclosure to be filed within 30 days of the triggering event, followed by quarterly filings thereafter until the condition ends or the four-year time limit is reached. The Arkansas Ethics Commission is tasked with creating the necessary forms and rules for these disclosures. This legislation is set to expire on June 30, 2029, unless extended by the General Assembly.
