HB 1341 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING BENEFITS UNDER THE ARKANSAS LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM; AND TO AMEND THE DEFINITION OF "PAY" UNDER THE ARKANSAS LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

HB 1341 is a technical amendment to Arkansas' Local Police and Fire Retirement System law, making two minor wording corrections. It changes the phrase "SYSTEM" to "SYSTEM" (redundant but consistent) and "payments" to "pay" in a specific section defining "pay" for retirement calculations. This bill does not alter benefit amounts, eligibility, or retirement rules - it only clarifies existing legal language. It directly affects the administrative processing of retirement benefits under the system but has no impact on current or future beneficiaries. As a procedural correction, it was passed quickly and became Act 522 on April 10, 2025.

Act 522 → HB 1341 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill underwent minor formatting and procedural changes rather than substantive policy modifications. The most significant change is the removal of the 'Act 522' reference from the title page, indicating this is a new bill number (HB 1341) for the 2025 session. The signature line was also removed, which is standard for bills before they are enacted into law.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Act 522 of the Regular Session' reference, indicating this is a new bill number for the 2025 legislative session.

Added blank lines and updated bill header information including the 95th General Assembly and 2025 Regular Session details.

Removed the 'APPROVED: 4/10/25' signature line, which is expected as this is a bill in draft form before final enactment.
