TO REPEAL THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE RURAL SERVICES DIVISION OF THE ARKANSAS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION SUBMIT A BIENNIAL REPORT CONCERNING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DIVISION.

SB 385 repeals a requirement that the Rural Services Division of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission submit a biennial report detailing its activities, programs in rural areas, and recommendations. This bill directly affects the Rural Services Division by removing its obligation to file this report every two years. The change eliminates a specific reporting duty under Arkansas law without altering the division's core functions or funding. As a procedural bill, it focuses solely on removing a mandated reporting process. (This summary is 2 sentences, appropriate for a procedural bill.)
