This bill amends the Division of Workforce Services Law in Arkansas to provide individuals with access to their employment records. A new section, 11-10-113, is added, which mandates that upon written request, the Division must provide individuals or their representatives with their wage and employment records at no charge. Additionally, the bill allows for the electronic transmission of these records, either directly or through a qualified third-party vendor, in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If a third-party vendor is used, the Division is required to select one that adheres to the U.S. Department of Labor rules, and any revenue generated from this vendor will support eligible workforce programs.

The bill also includes a provision for the implementation of these changes, requiring the Division of Workforce Services to ensure that the electronic transmission of employment records is operational by December 31, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of employment information for individuals in Arkansas.
