TO REQUIRE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A PUBLIC WATER AUTHORITY TO PUBLISH THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION UNDER THE WATER AUTHORITY ACT.

HB 1387 (now Act 239) requires members of public water authority boards to publish their contact information on both the water authority's website and the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission's website. This procedural bill directly affects board members of Arkansas public water authorities by mandating transparency in their contact details. The law modifies the Water Authority Act to specify where this information must be posted, streamlining public access to board member contacts. It does not change water service policies or impose new financial obligations. The bill passed quickly through the legislature in February 2025 and became law on March 4, 2025.
