TO CREATE THE DOCUMENT VALIDITY DIVISION; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
SB212 establishes a new division called the "Document Validity Division" within the Secretary of State's office.
Arkansas's 2025 legislative session kicked off January 13 and is expected to run through the spring. The ACLU of Arkansas is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights and freedoms of all Arkansans by advocating with lawmakers at the Capitol. We need you to stand with us — because the Arkansas State Capitol is your house, where you have the power to hold lawmakers accountable and demand they prioritize your community. Throughout the session, we’ll call on you to help us champion critical legislation and fight back against harmful policies. Sign up for our action alerts to stay informed or sign up to volunteer and join the movement to defend justice and equality for everyone in Arkansas.
