The bill amends the law regarding ethics and conflicts of interest for public officers and employees in Arkansas. It specifically prohibits public employees from providing advance notice to entities that are subject to inspections by governmental bodies, except for the standard notice that is routinely given to all individuals prior to an inspection. This new provision is codified as Section 21-8-311, which outlines the responsibilities of public servants in relation to inspections.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations of this prohibition. Individuals convicted of providing advance notice of inspections will be ineligible for any office or employment within state departments. If the violation occurs while the individual is employed by a state department, they will be immediately removed from their position. Furthermore, if the individual holds public office at the time of conviction, it will be classified as misfeasance and malfeasance, making them subject to impeachment.
