Arkansas committees need not explain permit-pause rejections

Arkansas legislative committees and subcommittees do not have to explain why they reject rules pausing permits in watersheds or other waters. This removes an explanation requirement during review of these rules. This change does not itself require or ban a permit pause, or set household payments or benefits.
