Committee batches and advances technical code‑revision bills (SB354–SB373)
Summary
The Senate Insurance & Commerce Committee approved a grouped do‑pass for SB354 through SB373, a set of Code Revision Commission technical corrections—grammatical fixes, statutory cross‑references and minor renumbering—intended to align the Arkansas Code with enacted policy and NAIC model updates.
The Insurance & Commerce Committee voted to pass a block of technical corrections from the Code Revision Commission covering Senate Bills 354 through 373.
Committee members described the measures as code‑squaring and grammatical corrections rather than policy changes. Senator Johnson and others explained these are the standard technical updates that correct verb agreement, section numbering and cross‑references after prior sessions’ enactments.
Senator English moved the do‑pass motion; Senator Johnson seconded. The committee approved the batch by voice vote.
Committee members noted some minor items at the end of the batch would require brief future explanation, but the bulk of these bills were described as housekeeping changes intended to keep state statutes consistent with prior legislative intent and with National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) model updates.
