Staff directories, phone listings, contracts, meeting minutes, and a wide range of other documents are public by default unless a specific statutory exemption applies.
Send your request in writing to the records custodian at the specific office. Under § 25-19-105, the custodian must respond promptly, typically within three business days. The Arkansas FOIA portal provides sample templates and guidance to help you write a clear, specific request.
