This bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 15 of the Arkansas Code, which pertains to natural resources and economic development. Key amendments include changes to the provisions regarding the Secretary of the Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism, allowing department employees to provide golf lessons outside of their normal working hours, provided they are qualified members of the Professional Golfers' Association or the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Additionally, the definition of "eligible company" under the Arkansas Tourism Development Act is clarified, specifying investment thresholds for tourism attraction projects in both high-unemployment counties and other counties.

Further updates include the repeal of outdated language in the Arkansas Great Places Program, establishing a new selection process for eligible organizations every two years, starting July 1 of even-numbered years. The bill also emphasizes that its enactment does not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly and clarifies that it only makes technical changes to the Arkansas Code without altering substantive law.
