TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO TITLE 17 OF THE ARKANSAS CODE CONCERNING PROFESSIONS, OCCUPATIONS, AND BUSINESSES.

SB 177 makes technical corrections to existing licensing laws for professionals in Arkansas, primarily fixing grammatical errors and updating obsolete language in statutes covering body art, dentistry, dietetics, and nursing. It clarifies requirements for dental licensing exemptions, corrects wording in body art training rules, and repeals outdated dietetics licensing provisions. The bill does not create new rules or change who must be licensed - it only ensures existing statutes are accurately worded and current. This affects licensed professionals and applicants in these fields by removing confusion from the code. (2 sentences, as it is a procedural technical correction bill.)
