To Make Technical Corrections To Title 23 Of The Arkansas Code Concerning Public Utilities And Regulated Industries.

Impact

The corrections proposed in HB 1361 are expected to enhance the regulatory framework for public utilities, as they clarify existing laws and practices. By correcting grammatical mistakes and clarifying the language in the code, the bill aims to eliminate ambiguities that could potentially hinder regulatory enforcement or create confusion among stakeholders. This is particularly relevant for insurance companies and other entities governed by the Arkansas Code related to utilities, as these changes could influence compliance requirements and operational processes.

Summary

House Bill 1361 seeks to make technical corrections to Title 23 of the Arkansas Code, particularly concerning public utilities and regulated industries. The bill aims to address grammatical errors and other inaccuracies that have arisen within the existing legislative language. This includes revisions to the definitions, terms, and procedures related to various regulated utilities and services. Overall, this bill is an effort to streamline the legal language and ensure clarity in the enforcement of regulations pertaining to public utilities in Arkansas.

Contention

While the bill focuses on technical corrections, any legislative effort to amend existing laws can generate discussion among lawmakers and stakeholders. The significance of the proposed changes may lead to scrutiny concerning whether all necessary corrections have been identified and whether other aspects of the regulatory framework require further attention. Stakeholders in the public utilities sector may express concerns over the implications of these corrections and seek assurances that such technical adjustments will not lead to unintended regulatory consequences. However, the bill primarily represents a non-controversial attempt to tidy up existing legislative language rather than introduce substantive policy changes.
