The bill aims to repeal the requirement for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission to submit a quarterly report regarding the training activities of the Arkansas Industry Training Program. This change is reflected in the amendment to Arkansas Code 6-50-102(b), which removes the obligation for the commission to prepare and submit detailed reports to the Governor and the Legislative Council or the Joint Budget Committee when the General Assembly is in session.

By eliminating this reporting requirement, the bill seeks to streamline the administrative processes associated with the Arkansas Industry Training Program, potentially allowing for more efficient use of resources and time for the commission. The focus of the program will remain on upgrading the skills and abilities of workers, as well as providing necessary training for modern processes and materials, without the added burden of mandatory reporting.
