The bill amends Arkansas law regarding the membership structure of the Delta Cultural Center Policy Advisory Board. It specifies that the board will consist of eleven members, with appointments made by the Governor and subject to Senate confirmation. The new composition includes two residents from Phillips County, a Delta blues musician, three members from the Delta region with an interest in its culture and heritage, and five members at large. The previous requirement for two academic advisors trained in Delta folklore or history has been removed.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it will not shorten the terms of current board members serving at the time of the act's effectiveness, and any changes will be implemented through the filling of vacancies. The board is required to meet at least quarterly, with provisions for special meetings as needed.
