HB 1557 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONCERNING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

HB 1557 is a technical amendment to existing IT governance rules for the Division of Information Systems. It updates specific terminology by changing "biannual" to "biennial" (referring to every two years), broadening funding references to include "state, federal, or public grant" sources, and clarifying "customized software or information technology systems" instead of "customized information technology." The bill does not create new policies or affect citizens directly; it only refines existing administrative language for clarity in IT reporting and grant management. The amendment was enacted as Act 480 on April 8, 2025.
