TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S SUBPOENA POWER.
HB 1511 would have prohibited recipients of an Attorney General subpoena from disclosing the subpoena's existence or the related investigation to anyone except their attorney, with limited exceptions. This rule would have directly affected individuals or organizations receiving such subpoenas during investigations. The bill added this confidentiality requirement to Arkansas law, allowing disclosure only with the Attorney General's written permission. However, the bill was withdrawn by its author on March 20, 2025, and did not become law.
