SB170

Senate Bill 170 is a technical legislative act designed to clean up the Arkansas Code by removing an expired statute. Specifically, the bill repeals Arkansas Code § 1-2-125, which originally governed the authority for state agencies, courts, and local government entities to utilize electronic document submissions and publications. Because the original section contained a sunset provision that caused it to expire four years after August 1, 2017, the statute is now obsolete. The bill also includes standard language clarifying legislative intent, ensuring that these technical changes do not conflict with or repeal other acts passed during the 95th General Assembly. The legislation explicitly states that its purpose is to make technical corrections rather than substantive policy changes.
