The Arkansas Forward Engagement Committee Act establishes a working group aimed at enhancing governmental efficiency and fostering a business-friendly regulatory environment in the state. The act outlines the need for a comprehensive review of state spending and regulations to identify and eliminate waste, fraud, and inefficiencies, while also optimizing public resources. The working group will consist of various state officials, including secretaries from key departments and appointed members from the House and Senate, and will be chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Shared Administrative Services. The group is tasked with conducting a thorough review of government operations and will accept public submissions regarding inefficiencies.

The working group is required to meet quarterly and will submit a final report of its findings and recommendations by July 1, 2026. The act also includes provisions for the potential extension of the group's operations until January 1, 2029, if deemed necessary by the Governor. Members of the working group will serve without compensation, and the Department of Shared Administrative Services will provide staff support. This initiative aims to streamline government processes and promote economic growth in Arkansas.
