Arkansas Legislature Debates Police Reform and Welfare Measures
In the Arkansas legislature, a bid to abolish the Criminal Investigation Division failed 11 to 18 as the Senate rejected expunging the bill’s vote. The House blocked a $1 per hour minimum wage proposal and debated inducements for votes on the Hot Springs gambling bill. Wells defended his integrity amid grand jury testimony and contempt issues. The House approved $225,000 for 6,000 extra seats at War Memorial Stadium and other pay and public relations measures, while several bills failed on reconsideration or procedural grounds. The Senate advanced measures on child labor law exemptions for newspaper carriers and regional territorial additions for Springdale, plus a bromine industry severance tax and funding for ambulance services and hospital air conditioning. The Senate convenes Thursday at 11 a.m.
