TO AMEND THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT OF 1967; AND TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING PUBLIC MEETINGS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT OF 1967.

HB 1667 sought to amend the Freedom of Information Act of 1967 in Arkansas, specifically concerning public meetings. The bill proposed to change the definition of a "public meeting" to include gatherings of two members, rather than more than two members, of any state or local government body. This change would affect various entities, including state agencies, commissions, municipalities, counties, and publicly funded organizations. The intent was to expand the scope of meetings subject to public transparency requirements under state law.
