Bill > HB1357

This bill makes several technical corrections to Title 16 of the Arkansas Code concerning court practices, procedures, and post-release supervision. The bill primarily updates language and references in various sections of the law, including amending the mobile application (Safe Arkansas App) provisions to include both "parole" and "post-release supervision" terminology consistently. The bill modifies the Post-Prison Transfer Board's mobile application requirements to provide more comprehensive information about inmates and parolees, including details like names, identification numbers, photographs, offense details, and release information. It also makes several technical corrections, such as correcting reference errors (like changing "seriousness grid" to "sentencing grid" and "preliminary hearing" to "revocation hearing"), updating departmental names, and removing an unused definition. Additionally, the bill clarifies language in settlement agreement provisions and includes a legislative intent section stating that these are technical, not substantive, changes to the Arkansas Code and do not intend to repeal previous legislative acts. The changes aim to improve clarity, consistency, and accuracy in the legal code related to corrections and post-release supervision.
