Arkansas committee passes basic habitability standards for renters, but more battles ahead
Caleb Alexander-McKinzie, an advocate for renters, speaks up for minimal habitability standards in Arkansas.

Committee Chair
Mark Lowery (R-Maumelle) cast the deciding vote, giving House Bill 1563 establishing minimum habitability standards the 11 votes it needed to advance to the full House.
