§ 25-1-201 - Legislative intent. - Arkansas Statutes

25-1-201. Legislative intent.

(a) It is the intent of the General Assembly to reduce the excessive flow of unsolicited state agency reports which, after being written, printed, and distributed at significant public expense, are received without having been requested by legislative offices, state agency offices, and other recipients who often shelve, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the unsolicited material often, again, at significant expense to the public.

(b) It is not the intent of the General Assembly to reduce the free flow of information between state government and the public. Rather, the intent is to reduce the use of state government publications for other than required informational purposes and to effect a reduction in the escalating public expense of writing, printing, and distributing unsolicited state agency reports.
