The bill proposes the repeal of the requirement for the Rural Services Division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission to submit a biennial report detailing its activities. Specifically, it removes the obligation for the division to prepare and present a comprehensive report every two years on January 1, which would include information on assistance activities, legislative recommendations, and data on program activities in rural areas.

By eliminating this reporting requirement, the bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on the division, allowing it to focus more on its core functions and responsibilities without the obligation of compiling and submitting extensive reports. This change reflects a shift towards streamlining operations within the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
