The bill aims to amend the law regarding the negligent discharge of firearms while hunting deer in Arkansas by repealing the existing statute, Arkansas Code 15-43-205. This section previously outlined the penalties for individuals who negligently discharged firearms while hunting, emphasizing the dangers posed to others and the intent to deter such behavior through fines and potential imprisonment.

By repealing this statute, the bill removes the specific legal framework that defined negligent discharge and its associated penalties, effectively eliminating the legal consequences previously established for this offense. The bill does not propose any new regulations or penalties in place of the repealed section, indicating a significant change in how negligent firearm discharges during deer hunting will be addressed under Arkansas law.
