TO ESTABLISH RECOVERY OF DAMAGES FOR NECESSARY MEDICAL CARE, TREATMENT, OR SERVICES RENDERED.

Maddy summaryHB 1204 (now Act 28) amends Arkansas law to clarify that plaintiffs in medical negligence cases can only recover the actual costs they paid for necessary medical care, treatment, or services - or costs legally owed by them or a third party. It directly affects individuals filing medical malpractice claims and healthcare providers by limiting recoverable damages to amounts actually paid or legally responsible. The key provision changes the standard for medical cost recovery from billed rates to verified payments, preventing recovery of unpaid or inflated charges. This law, enacted on February 11, 2025, provides a clearer financial framework for medical negligence claims in Arkansas.

TO SEPARATE THE OFFICES OF SHERIFF AND TAX COLLECTOR IN POINSETT COUNTY.

Maddy summaryHB 1050 (Act 12) separates the offices of sheriff and tax collector in Poinsett County, Arkansas, effective January 1, 2027. The bill requires Poinsett County voters to elect both positions separately in the 2026 general election, with each official taking office on January 1, 2027. It mandates that both officers provide bonds for their duties and receive compensation set by the Poinsett County Quorum Court within state-defined limits. This bill directly affects Poinsett County residents and county government operations by creating two distinct elected roles previously held by one person.
