The bill amends the powers and procedures of a county quorum court in Arkansas. It introduces new provisions that allow the quorum court to organize and manage its affairs more effectively. Specifically, it includes the ability to create committees and determine the manner of their appointments. This is reflected in the insertion of language that emphasizes the court's authority to establish its own organizational structure.

Additionally, the bill modifies the appointment process for committees within the quorum court. The presiding officer is given the discretion to appoint regular and special committees, rather than being required to do so. Furthermore, it stipulates that these committees cannot exceed a quorum of the whole body without consent from the county quorum court or the county judge, ensuring that the court maintains control over its committee structures.
