New laws

Hundreds of new Arkansas laws set to take effect Aug. 1

KUAR | By Arkansas Advocate Staff

Arkansas lawmakers passed 890 laws during this year’s legislative sessions, and most take effect on Tuesday.

In Arkansas, new laws take effect 91 days after the end of a legislative session (This year’s session ended May 1).

A handful of those are already in effect because they contained emergency clauses, meaning they become law immediately after being signed by the governor.
