The bill aims to make technical corrections and clarify language related to the administration of benefits under the State Police Retirement System. It amends provisions concerning survivors' benefits for the surviving spouse and children of state police officers killed in the line of duty, ensuring that these individuals can receive benefits even if the officer was not a member of the retirement system at the time of death. Key changes include the replacement of "uniformed employee of the Division of Arkansas State Police" with "state police officer" and adjustments to the age limits for children eligible for benefits, increasing the age from twenty-two to twenty-three for those enrolled in higher education.

Additionally, the bill repeals certain provisions related to the calculation of benefits under the Tier Two Benefit Plan, specifically those concerning the consumer price index. It also introduces new exceptions to the prohibition against subjecting annuity rights to legal processes, allowing for setoffs related to embezzlement or fraud and enabling courts to order the payment of a retirant's monthly benefit into the court registry if the retirant is found to be willfully failing to support minor dependent children as mandated by a court order.
