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. This change suggests a shift in how the state addresses firearm safety during hunting, potentially indicating a move towards a different regulatory approach or the introduction of new legislation in the future.
