3. Education: The 2023 LEARNS Act passed by the Arkansas Legislature that makes comprehensive changes to Arkansas' education laws.
Jason Nazarenko (Republican)
Support
There are many good details to the LEARNS Act that can be extremely beneficial for the education of our future generation. I do understand there are going to be challenges that will need to be addressed as we move forward with implementing these changes. Our public education system does a great job, overall, especially with the many challenges that they face.

If we look at what the legalization of marijuana has done to other areas, we can see what we do not want to become.

A business, following the rules set aside by the state, has the ability to put practices in place to keep patrons that choose to utilize their services in a safe manner, and should not be shut down, whether they are deemed essential or not.

8. Nursing Homes: Letting nursing home residents voluntarily place cameras in their own rooms to enable their family members to see and hear them.
Jason Nazarenko (Republican)
Support
I can understand the desire for immediate family members to ensure their family members which are in healthcare facilities are being cared for properly.
If the cameras are set up in a way that do not infringe on any other resident’s rights and allows immediate family members the peace of mind they desire, I am not aware of any issues that this could cause.

9. Freedom of Information: Further amending the Freedom of Information Act to prevent disclosure of deliberative documents such as government memos and letters, as discussed in the special legislative session of 2023.
Jason Nazarenko (Republican)
Oppose
I support full transparency but not at the cost of the safety of any government employee. Understanding that tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that get into the wrong hands could lead to a safety concern for officials and their family members should always be considered when disclosing information.
