The proposed legislation, titled the "Arkansas Guidance Out of the Darkness Act" (Ark-GOOD Act), aims to enhance transparency and accountability within state agencies by requiring them to publish federal guidance documents online. The act mandates that state agencies create a dedicated webpage on their publicly accessible websites to display any federal guidance documents they receive that may influence their interpretation, enforcement, or implementation of state laws, as well as their administration of federal funds. Agencies must publish these documents within thirty days of receipt, along with a summary of their content and potential impact.

Additionally, the act outlines specific exemptions for certain types of documents, such as those classified under executive orders or exempted from public disclosure by federal statutes. It also establishes compliance oversight, with the director of each state agency responsible for ensuring adherence to the act's provisions. The Auditor of State is tasked with conducting annual reviews of compliance and reporting findings to the Legislative Council. The act includes a severability clause to ensure that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
