This bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 24 of the Arkansas Code, which pertains to retirement and pensions. One significant amendment is the formal naming of the position of the executive director of the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System, changing it from "executive director" to "Executive Director of the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System." Additionally, the bill repeals an obsolete requirement that rules and procedures be adopted by May 1, 2004, and it also repeals a section regarding vacation pay for police department employees, as it is already codified elsewhere.

Furthermore, the bill includes a section that clarifies the legislative intent, ensuring that the enactment of this act does not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly. It establishes that in case of any conflicts between this act and previous legislation, the latter will take precedence, and emphasizes that the changes made by this bill are purely technical and do not alter the substantive law.
