25-18-601. Legislative intent.
(a) The General Assembly finds that while the Freedom of Information Act of 1967, § 25-19-101 et seq., provides disclosure guarantees for public records, due to Acts 2001, No. 1252, there is no general requirement for agencies to preserve public records.
(b) Therefore, the State of Arkansas is in need of a general records retention law to preserve records that are commonly found in most state agencies for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act of 1967, § 25-19-101 et seq., for historical purposes and for the efficient operation of state government.
