The bill aims to clarify the regulations surrounding the meetings of interim committees during legislative recesses in Arkansas. Specifically, it repeals the existing provision that allows these committees to meet during a recess lasting two weeks or more. This change is intended to streamline the process and establish clearer guidelines for when interim committees can convene.

As part of this legislative update, the bill removes the entire section of the Arkansas Code 10-2-223, which previously authorized interim committee meetings during extended recesses and included provisions for compensation related to attendance at these meetings. By eliminating this section, the bill seeks to ensure that interim committee meetings are conducted only under specified circumstances, thereby enhancing legislative efficiency.
