To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), Ark. Code Ann. § § 25-19-101 to 25-19-109, I am writing on behalf of Verisys Corporation, an accredited credentials verifications organization. I hereby request the following records:

License roster or database of all your licensed Adult Day Cares, Adult Day Health Cares, Assisted Living Facilities Level I , Assisted Living Facilities Level II and Residential Care Facilities documents. Please include in the returned roster: names, DBA, license numbers, license status, address, disciplinary action and any other information you are able to provide. The information obtained will be used to identify license status.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

We would like for the data to be in a .txt or .csv format. If that is not possible, we can also accept .xls or .pdffiles. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Verisys Co.

Thank you for contacting the Arkansas Department of Human Services.

Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(a)(1)(A) specifies that the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act makes all public records “open to inspection and copying by any citizen of the State of Arkansas…” That is, the provisions of the Act are not applicable to entities that are not citizens of the State of Arkansas. Accordingly, your request is respectfully denied.
