SB 170 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO TITLE 1 OF THE ARKANSAS CODE CONCERNING GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SB 170 repeals an expired section (Arkansas Code § 1-2-125) from Title 1 of the Arkansas Code that previously governed electronic document submissions by state agencies, courts, and local governments. This is a purely procedural bill making technical corrections to the code, not a substantive policy change. It directly affects the Arkansas Code by removing outdated language that had already expired (as noted in the section's expiration date of August 1, 2021). The bill does not create new requirements or impact any specific groups, as it simply removes a section that was no longer in effect.
