HB 1548 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS; AND TO ABOLISH THE DATA AND TRANSPARENCY PANEL.

HB 1548 amends state law governing the Division of Information Systems and abolishes the Data and Transparency Panel. The bill eliminates the panel's role in overseeing state data transparency and transfers its responsibilities to the Division of Information Systems. This change streamlines state IT governance by removing a separate oversight body and integrating its functions into the existing division. The bill became law as Act 375 on March 20, 2025, after passing both legislative chambers.
