The bill amends Arkansas law regarding mail sent to state inmates, specifically focusing on the handling of client files by attorneys. It introduces a new subsection that defines "personal identifiable information," "privileged mail," and "victim," and mandates that attorneys representing inmates must redact all personal identifiable information related to victims, witnesses, and correctional employees from client files before sending them to inmates.

Additionally, the bill requires attorneys to include an affidavit with privileged mail, certifying that they have completed the necessary redactions. This legislative change aims to enhance the privacy and safety of individuals involved in the criminal justice system by ensuring sensitive information is not disclosed inappropriately.
