HB1317 Summary

• Removes obsolete language from Arkansas Code Title 14 references to courts of common pleas, which were abolished by Arkansas Constitution Amendment 80.

• Deletes references to police judges from multiple code sections, replacing them with references to district courts following the constitutional amendment eliminating that position.

• Clarifies county judge salary compensation to remove references to serving as judge of the court of common pleas, retaining only duties as executive, county court judge, and quorum court presiding officer.

• Corrects references in city ordinance enforcement provisions by substituting "district court" for "police court" throughout relevant statutes.

• Restructures Arkansas Code § 14-271-104(f) regarding civil penalty exemptions for clarity by subdividing it into three numbered subsections listing entities not subject to the section.
