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 or disclosing confidential information acquired through their roles. The amendment introduces new provisions specifically targeting public employees, making it illegal for them to provide advance notice of inspections to any person, business, or entity subject to such inspections if the intent is to improperly influence the outcome.

Under the new provisions, a public employee who knowingly communicates details about an upcoming inspection with the intent to manipulate conditions, provide an unfair advantage, or interfere with the inspection's integrity will be in violation of the law. Violators may face disciplinary actions, including suspension or termination. However, the amendment clarifies that routine scheduling disclosures, public safety notifications, and necessary official communications for inspections are exempt from this prohibition.
