The bill amends the law regarding the membership of county planning boards in Arkansas. It allows the county judge, with the approval of the majority of the county quorum court, to create a county planning board consisting of a minimum of five and a maximum of twelve members. These members are to be appointed by the county judge and confirmed by the county quorum court.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that at least one-third of the members of the county planning board must not hold any other elective office or appointment, with exceptions for those serving on municipal or joint planning commissions or zoning boards of adjustment. Furthermore, it requires that a majority of the voting members of the county planning board must reside in an unincorporated area of the county.
