(a)
The General Assembly finds that:
(1)
Arkansas law requires offenders to pay legal financial obligations to the state, cities, and counties imposed by various courts and law enforcement agencies;
(2)
Missed payments for fines and fees may lead to charges in court for failure to pay, failure to appear, and contempt, all of which result in additional fines and penalties; and
(3)
It is in the state's interest to study the efficacy of streamlining the assessment and collection of financial obligations for incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals.
(b)
The General Assembly intends to create a framework, consistent with Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 80, and the constitutional prerogatives of the state's prosecuting attorneys and judges, to enable persons who are incarcerated in the Department of Corrections to resolve all pending misdemeanor offenses committed within this state and assist in the identification of corresponding fines, fees, and costs resulting from those misdemeanor offenses.
(c)
This subchapter does not limit a court's ability to impose a financial obligation against any person who has been convicted of an offense.

It is the express intent of this subchapter to comply with the requirements of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, in an effort to obtain the benefits of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, concerning time limitations in which federal habeas corpus proceedings and appeals must be considered and decided, and for other purposes. Throughout this subchapter, references to "post-conviction" proceedings or petitions refer solely to those proceedings or petitions which are filed pursuant to the state rule or statute in which claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are cognizable, such as Rule 37 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure. Specific reference to Rule 37 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure was avoided only because the General Assembly is aware that the form of relief provided for by Rule 37 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure may, at some point in the future, be provided for by a different rule or statute. It is the intent of the General Assembly to ensure that this subchapter apply to Rule 37-type post-conviction proceedings, not to post-conviction proceedings in which claims of ineffective assistance are not cognizable. It is the intent of §
16-91-202(e)
to allow the appointment of counsel in the very limited circumstance in which, because of unique training, experience, or background, an attorney is clearly competent and qualified to represent an indigent petitioner in a capital post-conviction proceeding, but otherwise does not meet all of the criteria of §
16-91-202(c)
. Section
16-91-202(e)

(a)
