The bill proposes technical corrections to Title 16 of the Arkansas Code, specifically addressing practice, procedure, and courts. Key amendments include the renaming of the "Parole Board" to the "Post-Prison Transfer Board" and the introduction of a mobile application called the Safe Arkansas App, which will provide information about inmates and parolees, including their eligibility for parole or post-release supervision, personal details, and any subsequent charges. The bill also clarifies the discharge process for minors on parole or post-release supervision, ensuring that those who meet specific criteria can have their voting rights restored.

Additionally, the bill makes several corrections to existing legal language, such as changing references from "Division of Correction" to "Department of Corrections" and updating terms related to administrative sanctions and hearings. It also repeals a definition that is no longer used and adds clarifying language regarding liability in settlement agreements involving minors. Overall, the bill aims to streamline and clarify existing laws without making substantive changes.
