HB 1382 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO REQUIRE CERTAIN REPORTING BY THE DESIGNATED PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY AGENCY FOR THE STATE AND THE DESIGNATED CLIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR THE STATE.

HB 1382, now Act 481, requires Arkansas' designated Protection and Advocacy Agency and Client Assistance Program to submit specific reports to the state. The bill mandates these agencies provide regular updates on their activities and services to the Arkansas General Assembly. This procedural requirement directly affects those two state agencies, ensuring transparency in their operations. The law does not change existing services but establishes a new reporting obligation for the agencies.
