AR SB156

Amends Arkansas Code § 21-2-105(a) to reorganize and clarify who may administer oaths of office for various state officials.

The Governor may take the oath before a Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or circuit court justice/judge; county clerk; or circuit court clerk.

Supreme Court justices, Court of Appeals judges, circuit court judges, district court judges, Secretary of State, Treasurer of State, and Auditor of State may take oaths before the Governor, a justice or judge of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or circuit court, or county/circuit court clerks.

All other civil and military officers may take oaths before the Secretary of State or designee, justices or judges of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, circuit court, district court, or county court, county/circuit court clerks, or justices of the peace.

Restructures existing statute into a clearer format using lettered and numbered subsections for each category of officials.
