Besides the animal cruelty legislation, four bills were endorsed by House Judiciary this morning:
HB1171 (Rep. Maloch): This bill converts the prsoecuting attorney's position in the 13th Judicial District from a "B" to an "A" (part-time to full-time). Robin Carroll is the current prosecutor there, and he has a geographic area larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined (and the 7th highest caseload). If this bill becomes law, he'll be the 24th of 28 full-time prosecutors in the state.
HB1011 (Rep. Hutchinson): This is the voyeurism bill that was debated last week and amended over the weekend.
SB69 (Sen. Madison): Makes corrections to Title 23 of the Arkansas Code.
HB1041 (Rep. Creekmore): This adds a section in the code to domestic battery in the third degree to include aggravated assault of a family or household member.
These bills will be debated on the floor of the House tomorrow.
