TO AMEND THE STATE KIDNEY DISEASE COMMISSION TO BE AN ADVISORY COUNCIL TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
HB 1456 redefines the State Kidney Disease Commission in Arkansas, transforming it into the State Kidney Disease Commission Advisory Council. This bill reduces the council's membership from ten to seven and shifts the appointment authority for most members from the Governor to the State Board of Health. Key functions, such as administering programs to assist residents with kidney disease and establishing eligibility standards for financial aid, are transferred from the former commission to the Department of Health, which will now consult with the new advisory council.
