SB 174 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO TITLE 8 OF THE ARKANSAS CODE CONCERNING ENVIRONMENTAL LAW.

SB 174 makes minor technical corrections to two existing Arkansas environmental law provisions without changing policy. It adds "may" to clarify a tire program's authority to enter agreements (Ark. Code § 8-9-410(d)) and corrects wording about university analysis for nuclear fuel storage (Ark. Code § 8-9-802(4)(A)). These changes fix grammatical errors and clarify references in the Arkansas Code. The bill does not create new requirements or alter existing legal obligations.
