The Information Network of Arkansas (INA) is a public instrumentality of the State of Arkansas. INA operates under the authority of Arkansas Code §25-27-101 et. seq. with the statuatory responsibility of assisting the state in exploring and improving citizen and business access to public information.
Our goals include expanding the base of users who can access public information as well as increasing the amount and availability of public information and transactions with the State of Arkansas.
As part of our role in the state, INA works with the State Government of Arkansas, the public and businesses of Arkansas, and the citizens. We listen to the needs of each community then work with the state to develop new applications and transactions to meet those needs.
INA is completely fee-supported. Many of the items we provide online are free of charge while others that may have potential commercial value are offered at a modest charge. These fees are used to pay for the INA network, our staff and future expansion and development.
INA is available to develop creative and technologically advanced methods of interacting with the State of Arkansas Government. Please contact INA at info@ark.org for additional information.
