Arkansas legislators discussed the controversial 2021 legislative session on Tuesday during a town hall discussion with KATV.
State Sen. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, called it “unusual” as the 93rd general assembly was filled with culture-war politics. But Gov. Asa Hutchinson said the state is in a better position after the session.
There were 1,100 laws enacted since the assembly convened on Jan. 11. Four elected officials state Sen. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock; state Sen. Jonathan Dismang, R-Beebe; state Sen. Kim Hammer, R-Benton, and state Rep. Ashley Hudson, D-Little Rock sat down with Talk Business & Politics Roby Brock and KATV s Chris May to discuss some of the biggest issues lawmakers tackled.

The Republican governor vetoed the SAFE Act but was over-ruled by the Republican majority in the state house. He did however, sign two other bills into law that impact the transgender community, including a ban on transgender women and girls competing in school sports teams consistent with their gender identity and a bill that allows medical workers to opt out of non-emergency services based on religious or moral objections.
When asked by CBC what he would say to families considering leaving the state because of the SAFE Act Hutchinson said: We value you; we want you to stay here. It s important to our workforce and the diversity we have. It saddens me, but I also understand the decisions that have to be made for health care purposes.
