This bill mandates that the designated Protection and Advocacy Agency and the designated Client Assistance Program for the state of Arkansas submit biannual reports to the Hospital, Medicaid, and Developmental Disabilities Study Subcommittee of Legislative Council, as well as to the Governor.

Additionally, the agencies are required to attend meetings of the subcommittee upon request and provide any requested information in a timely manner.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the subcommittee will review all reports submitted by these agencies. It also clarifies that the Freedom of Information Act of 1967 applies to Disability Rights of Arkansas, Inc., or its successor, which serves as the designated Protection and Advocacy Agency and Client Assistance Program for the state. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the advocacy efforts for individuals with developmental disabilities in Arkansas.
