The bill amends the law regarding the Attorney General's review of consent decrees entered into by covered entities, which include cities, counties, municipalities, towns, conservation districts, public schools, school districts, and public institutions of higher education. It establishes a new section in Arkansas Code Title 25, Chapter 16, Subchapter 7, that defines "consent decree," "equitable or injunctive relief," and "covered entity." The bill mandates that if a covered entity seeks to enter into a consent decree while being involved in litigation, it must notify the Attorney General, providing all relevant information and a draft of the proposed decree.

The Attorney General is required to review the proposed consent decree within thirty days and inform the covered entity of its approval or rejection. If the Attorney General does not respond within this timeframe, the decree is automatically deemed approved. If rejected, the Attorney General must provide a legal basis for the disapproval and may suggest a revised draft. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that a covered entity cannot enter into a consent decree that has been disapproved by the Attorney General. Lastly, any documents related to the proposed consent decree will not be subject to the Freedom of Information Act until the litigation is dismissed or the decree is filed with a court.
