Act 173 → HB 1357 · 2 edits

MINOR

The document shows a transition from Act 173 to House Bill 1357, with the primary change being the removal of the old Act 173 reference and the addition of new formatting elements including the state name, assembly details, and bill number. This appears to be a technical update renumbering and reformatting the legislation rather than a substantive policy change.

TECHNICAL

Removed the reference to 'Act 173 of the Regular Session' from the document header.

Added blank lines and new formatting elements including 'State of Arkansas', '95th General Assembly', and 'Regular Session, 2025' to establish proper bill identification.
