SB172

Senate Bill 172 is a legislative measure designed to make technical corrections and updates to Title 6 of the Arkansas Code, which pertains to education. The bill repeals obsolete language, such as an expired provision regarding the first meeting of education service cooperative boards and the long-expired Arkansas Smart Core Incentive Funding Program. It clarifies existing statutes by fixing grammatical errors and confirming the inclusion of open-enrollment public charter schools in sections concerning teacher compensation and funding. Furthermore, it reenacts certain sections to ratify previous administrative decisions made by the Arkansas Code Revision Commission. The bill explicitly states that these changes are non-substantive and intended solely for code maintenance and administrative accuracy. It contains standard language to ensure that these technical adjustments do not conflict with or override other legislation passed during the 95th General Assembly.
