HB1891

House Bill 1891 amends Arkansas law regarding the usage of official titles as prefixes for candidates seeking nonpartisan judicial offices. The bill specifically addresses individuals currently serving in an appointed capacity for the Arkansas Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals. Under the proposed changes, these appointees may use their current judicial title as a prefix when filing for election to their position, provided they have served in that appointed role for at least twelve months. Current law generally restricts the use of such titles to those who were previously elected to the office. The legislation aims to clarify the filing requirements for judicial candidates who entered their positions via appointment rather than election.
