The bill amends existing laws regarding war reenactments at schools in Arkansas, specifically allowing for the use of unloaded firearms or replicas during these events. It introduces new definitions for various historical conflicts, including the Revolutionary War, French and Indian War, Mexican-American War, and War of 1812, while also clarifying the definitions of terms such as "war reenactor" and "war-era weapon." The bill removes previous references to "Civil War-era weapon" and "Civil War reenactor," streamlining the language to encompass a broader range of historical wars.

Under the amended law, individuals participating in war reenactments are permitted to carry war-era weapons on school property for educational purposes, provided they receive prior approval from a school official and ensure that any firearms are unloaded. This change aims to enhance educational experiences related to historical events while maintaining safety protocols in school environments.
