This bill amends the law regarding war reenactments at schools in Arkansas, specifically allowing for the presence 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 definition of a "war reenactor" and "war-era weapon." The bill removes previous references to "Civil War-era weapon" and "Civil War reenactor," replacing them with broader terms that encompass multiple wars.

Under the amended law, individuals identified as war reenactors may carry war-era weapons on school property for educational purposes, provided they receive prior approval from a school official and ensure that any firearm is unloaded. The bill specifies that this provision applies to reenactors of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, French and Indian War, Mexican-American War, and War of 1812, thereby expanding the scope of permissible activities during school reenactments.
