	Arkansas Ethics Commission -- Opinions -- Advisory Opinion #99-EC-008
		In case of special events, as defined in paragraph (b), where the expenses related to the event are incurred by the lobbyist, the lobbyist need not allocate the expenses by individual but may categorize them on a group basis as listed herein in paragraph (e).
		To illustrate, if a lobbyist invited all members of the Arkansas General Assembly to attend a dinner during the last legislative session, the event would have qualified as a special event.
		The obvious rationale behind the special event exception is to avoid the need of the lobbyist to itemize on his or her lobbyist activity report all the names of the members of the Arkansas General Assembly which is a known group of 35 members the Senate and 100 members of the House.

		Arkansas' Constitution in Article 5, Section 20 states: "The State of Arkansas shall never be made a defendant in any of her courts." This provision has prohibited suit against the state.
		The Arkansas General Assembly, while maintaining the State's sovereign immunity, established the Claims Commission to mitigate the impact of the rigid rule of "governmental immunity" while adhering to another constitutional direction that the "General Assembly shall from time to time provide for the payment of all just and legal debts of the State."
		Ultimately, the General Assembly found it was unable to devote adequate time to the investigation of each claim, and, therefore, the first Claims Commission consisting of the State Auditor, Attorney General and State Comptroller was created to review claims.
