The House moved to oppose any encroachment by the FTC into the Arkansas Supreme Court's jurisdiction over the regulation of the practice of law. The House considered a proposed constitutional amendment to provide four-year terms for constitutional officers. After presentation by Mr. John Clayton, Mr. Jim Rhodes moved that the House of Delegates approve a resolution to support the concept of four-year terms. The motion was duly passed. After considerable debate, the House voted to keep in its legislative package a bill that would create divisions of juvenile courts and chancery courts and also to include the following proposed constitutional amendment: The General Assembly is hereby empowered to create and establish Juvenile Courts, to define the jurisdiction of Juvenile Courts, and to include within the Juvenile Courts those matters relating to bastardy and apprenticeship of minors over which jurisdiction Is now vested in the County Courts.

This amendment shall not supersede any valid statutory provisions establishing procedures for adjudication, disposition and review of juvenile cases, and such existent procedures shall continue in full force and affect until superseded by legislation enacted pursuant to this amendment. In other Legislative matters the House voted to approve amendments to the Model Timeshare Act which have been suggested by the Attorney General's Office. The House was informed that the amendments primarily strengthened consumer protection. It also voted to adopt HB-30, a provision
that would allow a one-year period for refiling after non-suit in product liability or medical malpractice actions. The House voted to oppose the following bills: HB-108 which sets dower and curtesy interests of one-half instead of one-third; and HB-139 which increases from $15,000 to $40,000 the value of a probate estate which may be distributed without appointment of a personal representative. The House concluded its business with postponing consideration of resolutions concerning bankruptcy judges until its annual meeting in June. The meeting was then adjourned.
