TO AMEND THE JOINT RULES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution amends the joint rules of the Arkansas General Assembly to change how legislation affecting the State and Public School Life and Health Insurance Program is handled. It requires that bills impacting this program or imposing new costs on state entities be introduced during the first 15 days of a regular session, with stricter approval thresholds needed for later introduction or during special sessions. Additionally, the bill mandates that any proposal adding new or increased costs to the program must include a fiscal impact statement prepared by actuaries before it can be considered by committees or brought to a final vote. These procedural changes apply to all state agencies, public schools, and other political subdivisions covered by the insurance program.
