This bill amends the Arkansas Code regarding the membership and election process of the Child Maltreatment Investigations Oversight Committee. Specifically, it changes the frequency with which the legislative members of the committee elect their Chair. The current law stipulates that the Chair is elected annually, but the new language specifies that this election will occur biennially 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 leadership of the committee is clearly defined and that the election process is streamlined to occur every two years rather than annually.
