TO REPEAL THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SUBMIT A QUARTERLY REPORT CONCERNING THE TRAINING ACTIVITIES OF THE ARKANSAS INDUSTRY TRAINING PROGRAM.
SB 378 repeals a requirement that the Arkansas Economic Development Commission submit quarterly reports on the Arkansas Industry Training Program's activities. The bill removes the mandate for the Commission to prepare and submit these reports to the Governor, Legislative Council, or Joint Budget Committee. This change affects only the Commission's administrative reporting duties, not the program's operations or participants. The bill does not alter the training program's purpose or eligibility. (This is a procedural change with no direct impact on program beneficiaries or funding.)
