Senate committee approves bill adding musicians to Arkansas Day of Music Appreciation
Summary
The committee passed HB 1013 to add additional Arkansas musicians to the state's Day of Music Appreciation on Sept. 1. Sponsor said the change updates the list to include artists omitted from older lists; sponsor arranged floor sponsor.
Representative Johnny Bridal presented HB 1013 to the committee, asking that specific Arkansas musicians be added to the state’s Arkansas Day of Music Appreciation, observed by gubernatorial proclamation on Sept. 1.
Bridal cited a roster of Arkansas musicians—including Johnny Cash, B.B. King, Glen Campbell and Al Green—and said the bill would add other names the sponsors felt were omitted previously. Senator Wallace agreed to carry the bill on the Senate floor.
Committee members thanked the sponsor and there were no substantive objections. Senator Ballenger moved to pass; Senator Tucker seconded. The committee approved the measure by voice vote.
The bill is ceremonial and does not change state programs or budgets; it proceeds to floor scheduling.
