The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 5 of the Arkansas Code concerning criminal offenses. Key amendments include the removal of a reference to a non-existent offense in the section regarding additional fines for offenses committed against or in the presence of a child. Additionally, the bill clarifies various references throughout the code, such as specifying "firearms" in relation to the disposal of contraband and seized property, and refining definitions related to death by delivery offenses.

Other notable changes include the clarification of the definition of a caregiver under the Vulnerable Person Protection Act and adjustments to the civil remedies for properties used by criminal organizations. The bill emphasizes that these changes are technical in nature and do not introduce substantive alterations to existing laws. Overall, the intent is to enhance clarity and accuracy within the legal framework without altering the underlying legal principles.
