Panel approves cleanup to peer recovery specialist certification law
Kirk Lane, state director, explained a cleanup bill to the committee that would remove a single-vendor certification requirement established in Act 951 (02/2019) and instead permit certification by an accredited organization approved by the Arkansas Alcohol and Drug Abuse Coordinating Council. The sponsor and committee members indicated the change was intended to broaden accreditation options while maintaining oversight.

The committee voted to pass the cleanup measure by voice vote.
