TO REDESIGNATE THE FOURTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT AS A DIVISION A JUDICIAL DISTRICT AS IT RELATES TO PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
HB 1006 redesignates Arkansas' Fourteenth Judicial District as a "Division A" district specifically for prosecuting attorneys. This change requires the district's prosecuting attorney to work full-time instead of part-time, addressing a burdensome caseload. The bill includes an emergency clause stating immediate action is necessary for efficient justice administration. It directly affects the Fourteenth Judicial District's prosecuting attorney position and became effective upon the governor's approval as Act 15 on February 3, 2025.
