The consumer sentiment index reading for Arkansas was 84.9 in March, up from 77.8 in September, 79.1 in March 2015 and significantly higher than 68.1 in October 2014 and 67.4 in the first survey done in June 2014. The recent survey marks the highest Arkansas index score since the survey began, and is the first time Arkansas’ index is higher than Oklahoma and Missouri. Reflecting an outperforming Arkansas economy, Arkansas consumer sentiment improved from September 2015 to March 2016, said Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the lead economist for the survey.

BENTONVILLE, ROGERS BEGIN TO SEE RETURNS ON DOWNTOWN INVESTMENTS AROUND QUALITY OF LIFE: City officials in Bentonville and Rogers have one thing in common – a drive to make their downtown areas destinations and places to live, work and play. The cities have invested in comprehensive downtown master plans and continue to use public dollars to encourage private sector investment. Such investments are paying off.

AMANDA DENTON: ARKANSAS NON-COMPETE RULES STILL RELEVANT UNDER NEW FEDERAL TRADE SECRETS LAW - Attorney Amanda Denton says that a recent federal trade secrets law doesn't discount Arkansas legal efforts to strengthen protection of trade secrets. Denton says local laws — such as in Arkansas — are still likely to figure prominently with the newly crafted tool under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) to enjoin former employees from working for competitors where there is “evidence of threatened misappropriation” of trade secrets.

Asa Hutchinson’s highway plan is expected to have widespread support in the Arkansas House and Senate in the special session that starts Thursday. However, can the bill get out of a key Senate committee? If the bill goes to the Senate Transportation Committee as expected, several members have indicated they are "uncommitted" at this time. Four of the eight senators on the panel have pushed for an alternative to the governor's plan, while a fifth member, Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, has been one of Hutchinson's biggest adversaries. The highway plan will need five votes from the eight members to get out of committee.

BETSY BROYLES ARNOLD: PUBLICITY RIGHTS LAW STRIKES A BALANCE - Betsy Broyles Arnold, daughter of the legendary Frank Broyles, offers a guest commentary on a bill that the state legislature will consider on Thursday. The legislation will center on the right to control the commercial exploitation of your name, likeness, voice, signature, and image – which isn't protected in every state and hasn't been fully addressed by the legislature in Arkansas. A law was passed by the legislature in 2015, but was vetoed by Gov. Asa Hutchinson.

CIRCUIT COURT RESCHEDULES CHALLENGES TO OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S CLEAN POWER PLAN: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unexpectedly rescheduled next month’s challenges to President Obama’s Clean Power Plan to be heard by the full bench instead in mid-September. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of President Obama’s historic Clean Power Plan on Feb. 9, blocking the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from implementing the far-reaching rules that would dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions across the U.S. by shutting down most of the nation’s coal-fired power plant fleet.
