TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO TITLE 24 OF THE ARKANSAS CODE CONCERNING RETIREMENT AND PENSIONS.
HB 1362 makes minor technical corrections to Arkansas retirement and pension laws without changing policy. It updates the title of the executive director position in the Arkansas Public Employees’ Retirement System (Section 1), removes an obsolete 2004 rule adoption deadline (Section 2), and deletes a duplicated vacation pay provision (Section 3). These changes clarify existing language and eliminate redundancies in Title 24 of the Arkansas Code. The bill affects the administrative structure of retirement systems but does not alter benefits, eligibility, or funding. The General Assembly confirmed these are purely technical updates, not substantive policy changes.
