HB1280

House Bill 1280 is a legislative act designed to make technical, non-substantive corrections to Title 6 of the Arkansas Code, which pertains to education. The bill updates various provisions to reflect administrative reorganizations, corrects department and officer titles, adds necessary internal references, and updates terminology for clarity and consistency. Specifically, it clarifies teacher licensure requirements under the Right to Read Act, updates the title of an administrative official involved in school tuition appeals, and standardizes references to technical colleges. It also corrects naming conventions within the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s School of Criminal Justice and Criminology as they relate to the Arkansas Police Corps Program. The bill explicitly states that these changes are intended to be technical only and should not be construed as substantive policy shifts or repeals of other acts from the 94th General Assembly.
