Bill > SB170

This bill makes technical corrections to Title 1 of the Arkansas Code, primarily focusing on two key provisions. First, the bill repeals Arkansas Code § 1-2-125 concerning electronic document submissions and publications, which had an expiration date of four years after August 1, 2017, effectively removing an outdated legal provision. Second, the bill includes a legislative intent section that clarifies how this act should be interpreted in relation to other legislative acts. Specifically, it states that this act will not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly, and in case of any conflicts, the acts from that session will be treated as subsequent acts to ensure their full force and effect. The bill emphasizes that it makes only technical (procedural) changes to the Arkansas Code, not substantive (fundamental) changes, and provides guidance on how to resolve potential legislative conflicts. The bill was approved on February 25, 2025, and is designed to clean up and clarify existing legal language without making significant policy changes.
