AI Summary

  • Amends Arkansas Code § 14-14-308 to expand the conditions under which governing bodies can relocate meetings to emergency temporary locations beyond just enemy attack scenarios.

  • Allows alternate meeting sites to be located anywhere in the county, whether within or outside the political subdivision's territorial limits, and potentially outside the state.

  • Permits governing bodies to establish temporary meeting locations by ordinance, resolution, or other manner when regular facilities are in disrepair or need temporary closure and relocation.

  • Grants governing bodies full executive, legislative, and judicial powers at temporary locations without compliance with time-consuming procedures, with all acts being valid and binding as if performed within the subdivision's territory.

  • Declares the act an emergency measure effective upon Governor approval, allowing immediate implementation because current law restricts temporary meeting relocations to enemy attack situations only.
