The bill amends Arkansas Code 21-8-304, which outlines prohibited activities for public servants. It reinforces existing prohibitions against public servants using their official positions for personal gain, accepting employment that may require disclosing confidential information, and disclosing such information for personal benefit.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that explicitly prohibit public servants from knowingly interfering with inspections, investigations, or outcomes conducted by governmental bodies. This insertion aims to enhance accountability and integrity within public service by ensuring that public officials do not obstruct governmental oversight.
