Code Revision Commission adopts annual expense reimbursement authorization under Arkansas law
Summary
The commission adopted its annual authorization to reimburse non‑legislative members for official commission duties under Arkansas Code §25‑16‑902, a routine procedural item required at the first meeting of the year.
The Arkansas Code Revision Commission approved a routine authorization allowing non‑legislative members to receive expense reimbursement for official commission duties under Arkansas Code §25‑16‑902.
Kevin, the commission’s code adviser, summarized the statutory requirement: “This is just a statute that authorizes the members, non‑legislative members of a board to get expense reimbursement. It's something that's required for you all to adopt at every year at the first meeting.” After a short discussion and a motion, the commission adopted the standard authorization by voice vote.
Why it matters: state law requires an annual adoption of the reimbursement protocol for non‑legislative members; the vote confirms the commission’s compliance with Arkansas Code §25‑16‑902. The motion passed by voice vote and no roll‑call tally was recorded.
Next steps: none beyond recording the authorization in the meeting minutes and continuing to process claims under the adopted procedure.
