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. The reports must detail their advocacy efforts for individuals with developmental disabilities, expenditures, and contracts. Additionally, these agencies are required to attend all meetings of the subcommittee and provide requested information in a timely manner.

The bill also establishes a new section in the Arkansas Code, specifically 10-3-321, which outlines these reporting requirements and the responsibilities of the subcommittee to review the submitted reports. This legislative action aims to enhance oversight and accountability regarding the advocacy and assistance provided to individuals with developmental disabilities in the state.
