TO AMEND ARKANSAS LAW CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSFORMATION AND SHARED SERVICES; AND TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSFORMATION AND SHARED SERVICES; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

SB 147 renames Arkansas' "Department of Transformation and Shared Services" to "Department of Transformation and Shared Administrative Services" throughout state law. It updates references to this department in multiple Arkansas Code sections governing state employee leave programs, geographic information systems, and land surveying responsibilities. The bill affects state agencies, higher education institutions, and the Arkansas Geographic Information Systems Board that interact with this department. It makes no policy changes but corrects the department's name in existing statutes and adds "to declare an emergency" to the title, though this does not alter the bill's administrative focus.
