TO AMEND THE LIBRARY LAW; TO AMEND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STATE LIBRARIAN; AND TO AMEND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR REGIONAL LIBRARY SYSTEM DIRECTORS.

It allows work experience in library science or operations to substitute for a master's degree from an American Library Association-accredited program, if approved by the governing board. The bill ensures libraries and regional systems meeting these revised requirements remain eligible for state funding. This applies specifically to the State Librarian position and directors of regional library systems.

TO EXEMPT PROVIDERS IN THE PROGRAM OF ALL-INCLUSIVE CARE FOR THE ELDERLY FROM THE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR HOME HEALTHCARE SERVICES.

Maddy summarySB 180 exempts providers in Arkansas' Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) from needing a separate home healthcare service license. This applies to PACE providers already licensed under the Arkansas Medicaid Program who deliver services as part of their participants' care plans. The bill amends state law to specifically exclude PACE providers from home healthcare licensing requirements, recognizing they are not home healthcare service providers. This change removes an unnecessary regulatory burden for these providers, aligning licensing rules with their existing role in delivering comprehensive elderly care.

HealthcareSupports HealthcareRemoves redundant licensing barriers for PACE providers, improving access to elderly care services without reducing oversight.85% confidence

TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION OR PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT BY THE STATE OF ARKANSAS AND OTHER PUBLIC ENTITIES.

Maddy summarySB 3 prohibits discrimination or preferential treatment by the State of Arkansas and public entities like schools, hospitals, and government agencies. It directly affects state agencies and public bodies by requiring them to treat all individuals equally under the law. The key provision establishes legal remedies: if a court finds a violation, it can order injunctive relief (stopping the discriminatory practice) and award court costs and attorney fees to the affected party. This law became effective as Act 116 after passing the Arkansas legislature in February 2025.
