TO CREATE THE JUNK FEE ELIMINATING ACT OF 2025; TO ABOLISH THE INFORMATION NETWORK OF ARKANSAS; AND TO TRANSFER ANY REMAINING DUTIES OF THE INFORMATION NETWORK OF ARKANSAS TO THE DIVISION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS.

House Bill 1896, known as the "Junk Fee Eliminating Act of 2025," abolishes the Information Network of Arkansas (INA). All of INA's authority, duties, records, and personnel are transferred to the Division of Information Systems. This legislation directly affects state agencies and local governments that previously relied on INA for services, such as processing criminal history information and collecting court-ordered fines electronically. A key provision removes INA's previous authorization to charge transaction fees for electronic court fine payments, effectively eliminating that specific charge.
