I had the pleasure of speaking with the House Judiciary committee today along with dozens of other people. I planned to beat the constitutional drum again, as I had for the Senate Judiciary last month. #SB81 has occupied a lot of valuable real estate in my head lately. #arleg #arpx

Automatic & Expedited Occupational Licensure for Out-of-State Individuals Act is trending. #ARLeg grants automatic occupational licensure to an individual in good standing of occupational licensure with similar scope of practice issued by another state.

Amazing that #sb81 finally gets a thorough amending and all they did was add reconsideration policies which will be pointless if you have criminalized anything that isn't suitable for children. #Arleg #arpx #FreedomToRead

When designing education policy that targets the most economically disadvantaged students, it is critical to know this: School lunch data (i.e. free and reduced-price lunch counts) are an inaccurate and insufficient proxy for student-level poverty. #arleg https://twitter.com/CEDR_US/status/1625513406337015808

Arkansas SB43 is still a very bad bill. I'm no legal eagle, but I get the feeling it'll end up challenged in court even if someone did try to enforce it. Then again, my state's legislators have never been known for their lawmaking skills.

Senate Bill 81, which was introduced by state Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro), is too vague and could someday mean that libraries are no longer refuges for children, a high school library media specialist said Tuesday.

A bill sponsored by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro) in front of the Arkansas state Senate Judiciary Committee could leave library and school employees criminally and civilly liable for lending items that are already illegal for them to have available for loan.
The committee is set to meet Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Arkansas’ second bill for permanent DST, HB-1104, was defeated in committee, thanks to testimony from AR State Representative Stephen Meeks (R). Meeks cited health/safety concerns, history, and common sense. Thank you! Please file for DST exemption next! #EndDST #SaveStandardTime #ARLeg

Arkansas State Representative Johnny Rye (R) withdrew HB-1039, his bill for permanent Daylight Saving Time, upon hearing concern for children’s safety from Congressman Rick Crawford (R-AR). Thank you both!

Please file for permanent Standard Time next! #EndDaylightSaving #SaveStandardTime #ARLeg

Does new Arkansas Exec Order prohibiting "Indoctrination" in public schools mean all of the state mandated "In God We Trust" signs must be removed from all schools?

Seems to me that is pretty explicit indoctrination, no?

Banning any public performance that involves non-gender-conformity. Goodbye Shakespeare! Goodbye Mrs Doubtfire! Goodbye women singing karaoke wearing pants!

We really have the worst legislators. #arpx #arleg #arkansas

What terrible ideas will come out of the legislature this session? #arleg #arpx #Arkansas

A state Senator in Arkansas is gearing up to put up a bill that sends librarians to jail for any ideas he deems inappropriate. I need y’all to read that out loud. Then I need you to ask yourselves is this fascism? #Arkansas #arleg #FascistGOP

We can’t really say, “Thank God for Mississippi” when it comes to Arkansas starting teacher salary. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hear the #arleg will propose $40K for 23/24. But that’s a little late. TN, MS, & AL already have that beat.

*I didn’t include LA or FL because I had a difficult time finding a clear cut answer to whether or not either state has a minimum teacher salary required by law.

#Arkansas is looking to join about a dozen other states in banning #TikTok from being used on government-issued devices. I spoke to a couple of experts as well as the sponsor of the bill for this reporting. #journalism #publicradio #arleg

🚨ALERT: The Republican-controlled Arkansas legislature approves a congressional redistricting map that splits Pulaski County — a heavily Democratic and diverse county — into three separate districts. The map now goes to Gov. Hutchinson (R). #arleg #arpx https://www.democracydocket.com/alerts/arkansas-legislature-approves-new-congressional-map/
