The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 10 of the Arkansas Code concerning the General Assembly. It amends Arkansas Code 10-2-111 to clarify the penalties for unauthorized use of the electric roll call system in the House of Representatives. Specifically, it changes the classification of the offense from a misdemeanor to a violation and updates the language regarding the penalties, ensuring that individuals found guilty will face fines ranging from $100 to $5,000. Additionally, it amends Arkansas Code 10-4-429(e) to clarify that reports related to exempt security functions are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act of 1967.

Furthermore, the bill includes a section that outlines the legislative intent, emphasizing that the enactment of this act does not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fourth General Assembly. It establishes that in the event of a conflict between this act and previous legislation, the latter will take precedence, and it clarifies that the changes made are purely technical and do not alter the substantive law.
