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

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 outlined the compensation for members attending these meetings. By eliminating this provision, the bill seeks to establish a more defined framework for legislative activities during recess periods.
