The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 12 of the Arkansas Code, which pertains to law enforcement, emergency management, and military affairs. Key amendments include the addition of clarifying language regarding the disclosure of sex offender registration records, specifically mentioning the parole, post-release supervision, or probation office. The bill also modifies the authorization for the Arkansas Crime Information Center to develop a computerized victim notification system, changing the phrasing from "is authorized to" to "may" and updating the terminology related to the status of individuals in the corrections system.

Further amendments include clarifications in the eligibility criteria for Department of Corrections employees to carry concealed handguns, ensuring that individuals meet specific requirements and maintaining a confidential list of authorized personnel. Additionally, the bill updates references in the Child Maltreatment Act and corrects the designation of the Office of Criminal Detention Facilities Review Coordinator from the Department of Corrections to the Department of Public Safety. The intent of the General Assembly is to ensure that these changes are technical in nature and do not conflict with any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly.
