Bill > SB385

This bill repeals the existing requirement for the Rural Services Division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission to submit a biennial (every two years) report detailing its activities. Currently, the division is mandated to prepare a comprehensive report due on January 1st that includes information about assistance activities, legislative recommendations, program activities in rural areas, and other relevant details covering the previous two-year period. By eliminating this reporting requirement, the bill removes the division's obligation to formally document and submit its activities to the legislature. The proposed change suggests a potential streamlining of administrative processes or a determination that the current reporting mechanism is no longer necessary or beneficial. The bill would take effect on April 3, 2025, according to the approval date noted in the document.
