The bill amends the Arkansas law regarding the membership of county law library boards, specifically outlined in Arkansas Code 16-23-102. It establishes that each county law library board will consist of three to five practicing attorneys appointed by the county court, with nominations coming from the county bar association or a regional bar association if no local bar exists. Additionally, in counties with fewer than three practicing attorneys, the board may include legal residents who are qualified electors of the county. The bill introduces new provisions for the appointment of a circuit court judge and a district court judge to the board, each serving a two-year term, and specifies that vacancies for these positions will be filled in the same manner as the original appointments.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the board, including the operation and maintenance of the county law library, the management of funds, and the authority to dispose of personal property deemed unnecessary. It also allows the board to enter into agreements with other public bodies or institutions of higher learning for the library's operation and maintenance. The implementation section mandates that initial appointments for the new board structure be made within 30 days of the bill's effective date, with terms expiring on the first day of January following the next general election. Subsequent appointments will follow a two-year term structure.
