May 6, 2021622 S.W.3d 162

Summary

The court held that the statute governing appointments to the Arkansas State Plant Board unconstitutionally delegated legislative power because private industry associations appointed half of the board's voting members. It reversed the circuit court's contrary constitutional ruling and remanded with instructions to remove the unconstitutionally appointed members.
