TO REFLECT A MERGER BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AND EAST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE BY CHANGING THE NAME OF EAST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS EAST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

SB 46 changes the official name of East Arkansas Community College to "University of Arkansas East Arkansas Community College" to reflect an existing merger between the University of Arkansas and the college. The bill repeals outdated statutory provisions related to a previous merger involving Crowley's Ridge Technical Institute. This procedural update aligns the institution's legal name with its current operational status and state funding allocations, which already reference the new name. The change affects only administrative records and does not alter funding, programs, or governance structures.
