TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO TITLE 20 OF THE ARKANSAS CODE CONCERNING PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE.
HB 1360 makes technical corrections to Arkansas Code Title 20 regarding public health and welfare. It clarifies two specific provisions: (1) school building egress requirements under fire safety law to align with existing ADA standards as of January 1, 2023; and (2) permit rules for hemp businesses when leadership or ownership changes, specifying that permits become void upon such changes but allow temporary operation for up to 30 days while new permits are processed. The bill explicitly states these are non-substantive corrections to existing code, not policy changes. It directly affects schools complying with fire safety regulations and hemp businesses managing permit transitions.
