The proposed legislation, titled the "Poultry Integrators Deceptive Trade Practices and Taxpayer Protection Act," aims to enhance transparency and accountability among poultry integrators in Arkansas. It introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, defining a poultry integrator as a company that manages poultry production by providing necessary resources to growers under contract. The bill outlines specific prohibitions for poultry integrators, including failing to disclose material business facts to growers, requiring costly improvements without assurance of contract fulfillment, neglecting the care of poultry if the integrator can no longer operate, and engaging in deceptive trade practices.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for poultry integrators that violate these provisions, classifying such violations as a Class B felony. It empowers prosecutors and the Attorney General to initiate enforcement actions against violators. Growers harmed by these violations are granted the right to file civil actions for damages, which may include compensation for fees and attorney costs. This legislation seeks to protect growers and ensure fair practices within the poultry industry in Arkansas.
