Bill > HB1360

This bill makes several technical corrections to Title 20 of the Arkansas Code concerning public health and welfare. In the first section, the bill reenacts a provision related to building egress, clarifying that individuals should not be impeded from exiting buildings in compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards as they existed on January 1, 2023. The second section amends regulations for hemp-derived product permits, specifically addressing what happens when key personnel (such as managing partners, presidents, or chief executive officers) change in partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations. These changes require organizations to apply for a new permit within 30 days of such leadership changes and void the existing permit. The third section provides legislative intent, emphasizing that the bill is meant to make only technical corrections to the Arkansas Code and will not repeal or conflict with acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly. The bill appears to be a housekeeping measure designed to clarify and update existing statutory language without making substantial policy changes.
