HB1843

House Bill 1843 amends Arkansas Code § 12-12-312(a)(1)(A)(ii) regarding the disclosure of confidential and privileged records held by the State Crime Laboratory. The bill proposes adding the Arkansas Drug Director to the list of entities authorized to receive access to these records. Currently, certain records and photographs held by the lab are confidential, and this act expands the scope of who may legally access them. The primary intent is to facilitate data sharing with the Arkansas Drug Director for the performance of their official duties.
