Dan Sullivan

State Sen. Dan Sullivan hosted a town hall meeting to recap the Arkansas 95th General Assembly.

Arkansas introduces bill to dissolve State Library, transferring duties to the Department of Education and revising public library funding criteria.

The Arkansas PBS governing board was preserved after the chairman's discussion with the bill sponsor halted a proposal to dissolve it.

If passed, regional library system directors in Arkansas would no longer be required to hold a master’s degree from a program accredited by the American Library Association.

Senate Bill 184 would disband the State Library Board and the Arkansas Educational Television Commission, transferring their duties to the Department of Education.

Senate Bill 3 seeks to remove affirmative action programs and prohibit "preferential treatment" in the state. It now returns to the Senate to approve an amendment before heading to the governor’s desk.

Arkansas State Senator Dan Sullivan's (R-Jonesboro) Senate Bill 3 passed the House Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs on Wednesday, Feb. 5, after almost three hours of discussion and concerns about liquor licenses and gendered clubs.

Sullivan also proposes loosening the current requirement that library directors hold a master’s degree “from an accredited American Library Association program”

After an hour of debate,

The bill strikes terms such as “equity,” “civil rights,” “minority,” and “diversity” from Arkansas law and repeals sections creating scholarships, support services, and retention programs for minorities.
