Table of Contents A note on the Table of Contents Entries in the Guide are alphabetically ordered according to the key word we believe would most naturally occur to a person seeking a particular listing. Therefore, the Department of Correction is under C for Correction, the Department of Arkansas Heritage under H for Heritage, and so forth. In such cases where an agency or institution is best known by its full name the State Police, for example those entries are so ordered. Those boards whose names begin Arkansas State Board of... are arranged under B for Board ; all others are according to their key words (e.g., Arkansas State Medical Board under M; Plant Board under P). Agencies and institutions that are subdivisions of other agencies are grouped alphabetically beneath their umbrella organization; thus, the State Library appears under the Department of Education, Arkansas State University under the Department of Higher Education, etc. A.S.E.A.

The General Assembly The Arkansas Constitution calls for the General Assembly to convene on the second Monday in January of odd-numbered years for a regular session, limited to sixty (60) calendar days; and on the second Monday in February of even-numbered years for a fiscal session limited to thirty (30) calendar days. Regular sessions can be extended not to exceed a total of seventy-five (75) calendar days by a vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each chamber. (In addition, a regular session of the legislature can be extended beyond seventy-five (75) days by a vote of threefourths of the members elected to each chamber (Arkansas Constitution, Article V, 19).) Fiscal sessions may be extended one (1) time not to exceed an additional fifteen (15) calendar days by a vote of three-fourths of the members elected to each chamber. It is not unusual for the General Assembly to address as many as 3000 bills and resolutions in a session. Many of these matters have been studied by committees during the interim and discussed at various public meetings. In addition to the regular session, the Governor may call special sessions (extraordinary) to consider only those matters that the Governor recommends. In these cases, members of the General Assembly can only introduce bills relating to the subjects in the Governor s Proclamation. However, after these matters have been disposed of, the General Assembly may extend special sessions for up to fifteen (15) calendar days by a two-thirds vote of the membership of both bodies and the Assembly may consider any matter. The General Assembly is highly structured so that it can deal effectively with all issues. There are two houses the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has 35 members; the House has 100. The Lieutenant Governor presides as President of the Senate; and the Speaker of the House, who is elected by House members at the beginning of each regular session, presides in the House. Many improvements have been made over the years to update and modernize the legislative process. Committee meetings are open to the public; and, as an additional service to the public and news media, bills once filed, are available on the internet. Space is made available for the news media by both the Senate and House, and the House Communications Office produces a daily radio news program and provides news summaries and press releases to the state newspapers. The Senate Information Office also works with the public and the news media. The General Assembly s Tour Guide Service assists thousands of visitors who tour the Capitol during sessions. Visitors may arrange to visit their senator or representative during the session by calling one of the legislature s in-session numbers 501-682-6211 for the House of Representatives and 501-682-2902 for the Senate. 12
Arkansas State Senate The thirty-five members of the Senate are elected from thirty-five senatorial districts. A senator must be at least 25 years of age, a resident of Arkansas for two years, and a resident of the senatorial district for one year. The Lieutenant Governor is the President of the Senate and presides during the sessions. The current Lieutenant Governor is Mark Darr. Senator Michael Lamoureux of Russellville is President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Mr. Lamoureux will be second in the line of succession to the office of Governor. Members of the Senate s nine standing committees report back to the Senate after consideration of proposed legislation. The standing committees are Public Health, Welfare and Labor; Revenue and Taxation; Education; Judiciary; Agriculture, Economic and Industrial Development; Insurance and Commerce; City, County and Local Affairs; State Agencies and Governmental Affairs; and Transportation, Technology and Legislative Affairs. In general, each senator serves on two of these committees. The members, chairmen, and vice-chairmen are chosen by a process that relies on seniority. In addition to the Standing Committees, the Senate has two select committees: Rules, Resolutions and Memorials; and Efficiency. Also, there are seven joint committees: Joint Budget; Joint Performance Review; Joint Public Retirement and Social Security Systems; Joint Committee on Children and Youth; Joint Legislative Facilities; Joint Energy; and Joint Audit. 13

Arkansas House of Representatives The House of Representatives consists of 100 members who are elected from 100 Districts. The House is currently has 51 Republicans, 48 Democrats and 1 Green Party, of which 83 are men and 17 are women. A House member must be at least 21 years of age and a resident of Arkansas for two years and a resident of the district for one year. Members of the House serve two-year terms. The Speaker of the House presides and is elected by the membership every two years. The Speaker for the 2013-2014 biennium is Davy Carter of Cabot. It is customary for the Speaker to designate a Speaker Pro Tempore, who presides in the absence of the Speaker. The House utilizes an electronic voting system. To vote, a member pushes one of three (3) buttons on his or her desk: the green button means yes, the red but- ton no, and the yellow button present. The votes are displayed on two (2) large electronic boards at the front of the House Chamber and are tabulated at the Speaker s desk. A computer printout of the tabulations is placed into the official journal and the results are placed on the internet. Because the House Chamber is large and there are 100 members, each member has a microphone. When a member wishes to speak, he stands to be recognized by the Speaker. Once recognized, the member speaks into the microphone, which is turned on by the Sound Clerk at the large desk in the front of the Chamber. The Representatives spend a lot of their time in committee meetings, sometimes months before the convening of the session. The House has ten (10) Standing Committees. Each Representative serves on two (2) Standing Committees. No member can serve as a Chairman or Vice Chairman of more than one (1) Standing or Select Committee. In addition to the Standing Committees, the House of Representatives has seven (7) Select Committees which are: House Management; Rules; Joint Budget; the Joint Committee on Public Retirement and Social Security Programs; the Joint Committee on Energy; Joint Performance Review Committee; and the Joint Committee on Advanced Communications and Information Technology. The House also has three (3) Special Committees, the House Committee on the Journal, Engrossed and Enrolled Bills; the Joint Interim Committee on Legislative Facilities; and the Joint Committee on Legislative Printing Requirements and Specifications. *As of press time of the 2012/2013 Government Guide 17

In 2001, the DCC sought and was granted permission by the State Legislature to change the punishment component of its name to correction to more accurately reflect the Agency s mission. The DCC provides supervision and services, that are consistent with the principles of evidence-based practices, to adult offenders in the community through its five Community Correction Centers, Technical Violator Center and 51 parole and probation offices. These services strike a balance between rehabilitation, supervision and accountability so that the community is repaid of the offense, public safety is promoted and the offender is assisted in becoming a law-abiding, tax-paying member of society. David B. Eberhard Director The DCC partner with Circuit Judges throughout the state in 41 drug courts that provide an alternative to traditional incarceration through intensive supervision to offenders who have substance abuse issues that lead to criminal behavior. The DCC has approximately 1200 employees. Other major programs include Technical Violation Programs, specialized sex offender supervision and modified therapeutic communities.

These provisions are not necessarily the same as those used in other government or private disability programs, and a person may qualify under other programs and not qualify for social security disability. Arthur Boutiette Director The social security disability program consists of two distinct benefit areas: social security disability insurance under title II of the Act and supplemental security income (SSI) under title XVI of the Act. Title II benefits are a partial replacement for the worker and his family s lost earnings when the worker suffers a severe disability. Title II claimants must have been gainfully employed for five of the past ten years in work covered by social security. Worker benefits are based on the worker s earnings. After 24 months of title II benefits, claimants are eligible for Medicare coverage. The title XVI disability benefits program provides income for individuals with severe disabilities who have limited income and resources. Title XVI benefits are funded through general tax revenues and individuals who qualify under these provisions also qualify for Medicaid assistance. An adult under either title must, because of his disability, be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or death. Currently, Arkansas citizens receive 192 million dollars in monthly disability benefits under the Federal Social Security Act. DDSSA appreciates that these benefits are vital to a large number of Arkansas citizens, and DDSSA continues to pursue its ultimate goal of qualifying any claimant who may be eligible under the federal social security disability rules and regulations.

Arkansas Ethics Commission 910 West Second Street, Suite 100 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 324-9600 FAX: (501) 324-9606 Toll free: (800) 422-7773 www.arkansasethics.com E contactus@arkansasethics.com The Ethics Commission was created by the citizens in Arkansas who voted overwhelmingly to institute strong ethics and disclosure as part of the law in Arkansas. In 1988, voters passed a law (Initiated Act 1 of 1988) which required public officials to reveal their financial connections and how those connections might affect their public duties. The act also detailed which actions a public official can or cannot take, when the actions affect officials, their immediate family, or business associates. Lobbyists are required under that law to register before they can legally operate in Arkansas and disclose their lobbying activity thereafter. In 1990, another law passed by the voters created the Ethics Commission and added new laws dealing with the money used to finance political campaigns. The new law dealt more directly with activities that elected officials, especially legislators, were prohibited from taking. The law gave the new Ethics Commission authority to investigate alleged violations of the ethics and disclosure laws, and to take disciplinary actions against those who were found guilty. In addition, the Commission interprets all aspects of the law, issues opinions, and provides education and training to persons subject to the laws under its jurisdiction. The Commission and its staff answer questions and provide guidance to elected officials, appointed officials, lobbyists, campaign finance officials, public employees, and the ordinary citizen.

STATE EMPLOYEES WORK HARD That s why the Arkansas State Employees Association has worked hard for state employees for over four decades. The Arkansas State Government Guide is the only such publication of its kind to catalogue the components of the state s governmental machinery. Likewise, the Arkansas State Employees Association is the only such organization of its kind to fight exclusively for the interests of the hard workers who make that machinery run. A.S.E.A. has been proud to represent the interests of the state s employees since 1968. ARKANSAS STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION P.O.
