The bill establishes the Joint Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs within the Arkansas General Assembly, as outlined in a new subchapter added to Arkansas Code Title 10, Chapter 3. This committee will consist of twelve members from the House of Representatives and eight members from the Senate, with specific selection processes for each group. The committee is tasked with addressing military and veterans affairs, conducting studies, and reviewing related legislation. Members will serve in addition to their roles on other committees, and leadership positions will be designated among the members.

An emergency clause is included in the bill, emphasizing the urgent need to address the growing military presence in Arkansas and the associated issues affecting veterans and their families. The act is deemed necessary for the preservation of public peace, health, and safety, and will take effect immediately upon approval by the Governor or under specified conditions if not acted upon.
