TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS; TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

HB 1647 amends Arkansas state code to rename the "Division of Information Systems" to the "Division of Information Systems Office of State Technology" in multiple statutes. The bill updates references to this division across 16 different Arkansas Code sections, including those governing public schools, emergency management, voter systems, and state technology oversight. It does not change the division's functions or create new policies - only its official name and how it's referenced in state law. The bill was enacted as Act 412 on March 25, 2025, after passing both chambers.
