SB 575 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING INSTALLMENT FEES COLLECTED IN CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT COURTS; TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING DRIVER'S LICENSE REINSTATEMENT FEES; AND TO CREATE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TASK FORCE.

Senate Bill 575, as amended, modifies laws related to driver's license reinstatement fees and establishes a Justice System Task Force. It repeals specific state code sections that classify certain driver's license reinstatement fees as special revenue, thus changing their financial categorization. The bill also expands the proposed Justice System Task Force from ten to thirteen members, incorporating representatives from judicial councils and local government associations. These provisions are scheduled to become effective on July 1, 2026.
