Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
In Arkansas, an employer/former employer may disclose the specific information about an employee/former employee to a prospective employer if the employer/former employer receives written consent from the employee/former employee, unless he/she is not acting in good faith. Disclosures may include the information listed in Arkansas Code 11-3-204(a)(1). An employer may be liable for disclosures not made in good faith. Lack of good faith may be shown if the employer/former employer disclosed false information recklessly, knowingly, or with malicious intent.
Blacklisting any person in order to prevent that person from securing employment or cause the discharge of any person employed by any company or individual is a crime.
