This bill amends the law regarding the Attorney General's subpoena power in Arkansas. It introduces a new subsection to Arkansas Code 25-16-705, which establishes restrictions on the disclosure of subpoenas and related investigations. Specifically, it prohibits recipients of subpoenas from disclosing the existence of the subpoena or the investigation to third parties, except for their attorney.
Additionally, the bill allows for an exception where a recipient may disclose this information if they obtain written permission from the Attorney General. This amendment aims to enhance the confidentiality of investigations conducted by the Attorney General's office and ensure that sensitive information remains protected during the investigative process.
