Arkansas regulations: details
Copied from the section pages of the official Code of Arkansas Rules site on October 18, 19 and 20, 2026. Check the official page before you rely on a rule.
What is here
- Release 2: 21,359 sections of the Code of Arkansas Rules, read by us from the section pages of the official Code of Arkansas Rules site, which calls itself the official version. We copied the pages on October 18, 19 and 20, 2026. Each section comes back as its page prints it, with the page’s notes: its Codification Notes, its History line naming the Arkansas Register rule that last changed it, and its Authority line. A rule changed after we copied it is not reflected here.
- The Bureau of Legislative Research’s index lists 22,391 units (sections and appendices). Release 1 showed 14,289 sections from the pages our copy of the site had reached when we cut it. Release 2 adds 7,070 sections from the pages our copy reached after that, once it had finished; the sections Release 1 showed are unchanged.
- 1,032 units are held and not shown, each with its reasons: mainly pages with no rule text (668), headings that do not read as the index’s citation and caption (668), appendices (374). A held unit comes back as held, with its reasons and no text. Held is not absent.
- Our copy is not the official version. The site says a rule’s inclusion in the Code “shall not be construed to represent an expression that the rule is consistent with state or federal law or legislative intent,” and that it is updated weekly and may not reflect recent rulemaking. Read the rule on the site before relying on it.
- Look a section up by its citation, as in 2 CAR § 1-101. A long section comes back in pages, and nothing is cut. A part such as 2 CAR pt. 1 lists its units: shown and held.
How we checked it
- Two separate readers, written with no shared code, read every page: one from the page’s displayed text, one from a hidden copy of the same text that the page also carries. A section is shown only where both agree on its heading and every word of its text, and find the same Authority line.
- A section is held when its heading does not match the index’s citation and caption, when its page has no text, when it holds a table, a picture or a floating object, when the two readers differ, when its notes do not read alike, when its citation reads clear on another page too, or when our copy did not get its page. Every appendix is held.
- Before each release, we drew 20 shown sections at random and fetched each one again from the official site. In Release 1, all 20 matched in heading, text and notes; in Release 2, the 20 drawn from the sections it adds all matched too.
- One AI system wrote the readers, ran every check and made every reading and ruling, with no second reader.
What it can't tell you
- Whether a rule is in force, valid or current, or is good law.
- Whether a rule is consistent with state or federal law; the site itself says that a rule’s inclusion is no such statement.
- Whether anything changed after we copied the pages on October 18, 19 and 20, 2026.
- What the held units say.
Known gaps
- 1,032 of the 22,391 units are held and not shown.
- Tables, pictures and appendices are held, not shown.
- Codification Notes printed on a whole part, rather than on a section, are not shown.
- Paragraphs are shown one a line; bold, italic, underlining and indentation are not shown.
- Keyword search reads only the shown sections. Held units have no text here and never match.
Notes you may see on an entry
- A held unit: “GLO holds this unit and does not show its text, because its two readers or the release check did not clear it, or our copy did not get its page. Its reasons are listed by name.”
- A section not in this copy: “Not in this copy of the Code of Arkansas Rules, neither shown nor held. That never means the rule does not exist.”
