The bill aims to clarify the regulations surrounding the meeting 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 provide clearer guidelines for when interim committees can convene.

As part of this legislative update, the entire section of the Arkansas Code 10-2-223, which previously authorized interim committee meetings during extended recesses and outlined compensation for attending members, is being removed. This repeal eliminates the previous allowance for meetings during longer recesses, thereby potentially limiting the frequency and circumstances under which interim committees can gather during legislative breaks.
