TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS LAW CONCERNING THE MEMBERSHIP OF COUNTY LAW LIBRARY BOARDS.
House Bill 1624 proposed changes to the membership of county law library boards in Arkansas. It aimed to add one circuit court judge and one district court judge to these boards, to be appointed by the county court for two-year terms. These judicial members would serve alongside the existing board members, who are practicing attorneys appointed from local bar association nominations. The bill also clarified the board's powers regarding library operation, fund expenditure, and property management.
