The bill amends the Arkansas Code regarding the Child Maltreatment Investigations Oversight Committee, specifically focusing on the election process for the Chair of the committee. The current law states that the legislative members of the committee elect the Chair annually. This bill proposes to change the election frequency from annually to biennially, thereby allowing the legislative members to elect the Chair every two years instead.

Additionally, the bill introduces the term "legislative" to clarify the type of members responsible for electing the Chair. This change aims to ensure that the election process is clearly defined and reflects the intended structure of the committee's leadership. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the governance of the Child Maltreatment Investigations Oversight Committee by modifying the election timeline and specifying the membership involved in the election.
