HB1896

House Bill 1896, titled the 'Junk Fee Eliminating Act of 2025,' proposes to abolish the Information Network of Arkansas (INA). The bill transfers all of the INA's statutory powers, duties, functions, personnel, property, records, and unexpended funds to the Arkansas Division of Information Systems. It repeals several sections of the Arkansas Code related to the administration and governance of the INA, including the board that oversees it. The legislation serves to consolidate digital government services under the Division of Information Systems to streamline operations. Provisions exist to ensure that existing rules, contracts, and licensing standards created by the INA remain in effect until modified under the new oversight. Furthermore, the bill amends various statutes to remove references to the INA and replace them with the Division of Information Systems regarding the processing of criminal history information and electronic fine collection.
