The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 6 of the Arkansas Code concerning education. It includes the repeal of obsolete provisions, such as Arkansas Code 6-13-1006(c) regarding the first meeting of a board of directors for education service cooperatives, and Arkansas Code 6-15-215, which has expired. Additionally, it amends Arkansas Code 6-13-1006(d) to update the language regarding the election of a chair by the board of directors. The bill also corrects grammatical errors in Arkansas Code 6-16-152(b)(3) related to computer science education courses and reenacts provisions in Arkansas Code 6-17-2403 to clarify references to open-enrollment public charter schools.

Furthermore, the bill reenacts Arkansas Code 6-63-317(c) to codify salary procedures for higher education institutions, ensuring that new funding for salary increases is used exclusively for that purpose. The bill emphasizes that its enactment does not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly and clarifies that it only makes technical, non-substantive changes to the Arkansas Code.
