Technical/metadata anomalies

The bill packet includes some inconsistent metadata (for example, an unrelated line that reads “This Act may be cited as the Ensuring Accountability and Dignity in Government Contracting Act of 2025,” and sponsor/committee listings that appear to mix federal and state names/committees). The substantive text of HR 1036, as enacted by the Arkansas House, is a state House resolution recognizing Jacob Lofland; the unrelated lines are likely clerical or dataset errors and do not change the content or ceremonial nature of the resolution.
