The proposed bill mandates a legislative study focused on reforming Arkansas's workforce and social services. It emphasizes the need for an educated and skilled workforce, access to quality education and training, and the integration of various public assistance programs. The study will be conducted by the Hospital, Medicaid, and Developmental Disabilities Study Subcommittee of the Legislative Council, which is required to meet at least quarterly to discuss issues and potential legislative changes. The study aims to identify and analyze existing programs, their performance outcomes, and the creation of a centralized resource for public assistance information.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific areas for investigation, including state models for program integration, alternative approaches to improve service outcomes, and the development of an asset map for service delivery. A final report detailing the findings and recommendations, including any necessary legislation, is to be submitted by October 1, 2026. The study is set to expire on December 31, 2026, and will also consider input from subject matter experts to enhance the research process.
