Public Records and FOIA in Russellville

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, found at Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101 et seq., covers nearly all records created or held by state and local government agencies.

Submit your records request in writing to the designated records custodian at the relevant office. Under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-105, the custodian must respond within three business days.

If records are withheld, the agency must provide a written explanation of the specific exemption claimed.
The Arkansas FOIA portal provides guidance on how to submit requests, what agencies must provide, and how to appeal denials.
