Bill > SB87

This bill amends Arkansas law to improve the creation and implementation of the Code of Arkansas Rules. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring the Secretary of State to work with the Bureau of Legislative Research to notify the Bureau when a final rule is filed, including the filing and effective dates, to ensure the Code of Arkansas Rules is updated. 2) Authorizing the Bureau of Legislative Research, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to develop an electronic filing system to facilitate the filing of rules. 3) Clarifying the Bureau's role in compiling, formatting, and publishing the Code of Arkansas Rules, including its ability to make technical corrections and omit certain provisions. 4) Providing temporary language to address rules that are in the process of being amended or repealed when the Code of Arkansas Rules becomes effective, to avoid confusion and ensure a smooth transition. This bill aims to streamline the process of maintaining and updating the official compilation of Arkansas's rules and regulations, the Code of Arkansas Rules.
