AI-Generated Summary
House Bill 1292 is an act designed to make non-substantive, technical corrections to Title 24 of the Arkansas Code, which governs state retirement and pension systems. The bill updates language regarding the Arkansas Public Employees’ Retirement System (APERS) board to improve clarity and ensure consistency in code style. It also corrects a grammatical error in the statutes concerning the Board of Trustees of the State Police Retirement System. Furthermore, the bill repeals an obsolete provision regarding service credit in the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System. It also removes outdated references to past disability retirement payment adjustments within the Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System. The act explicitly states that it is intended only to provide technical cleanup and not to make substantive changes to the existing law.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?

Additionally, the public and state employees benefit indirectly from more accurate, clear, and logically organized government regulations.
Who Might Suffer?
There are no groups or entities directly negatively impacted by this legislation, as the changes are strictly technical, grammatical, and intended to remove obsolete provisions. The act does not alter the substance of benefits, eligibility, or administrative authority.
