HB1460

House Bill 1460 amends Arkansas state law regarding the appointment criteria for members of several state boards, commissions, and councils. Specifically, it updates language pertaining to the Arkansas Economic Development Council, the Arkansas Rural Development Commission, the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board, and the Arkansas Motor Vehicle Commission. The bill clarifies that mandates requiring members to be appointed from specific congressional districts refer to those districts as they exist at the time of each appointment, rather than freezing the district boundaries to the specific historical dates previously cited in the code. This change aims to ensure that appointment geographical requirements remain aligned with current political geography. The legislation does not alter the total number of representatives required from these districts but standardizes how those districts are referenced for administrative appointments.
