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 context of additional fines for offenses committed against or in the presence of a child, specifically deleting the mention of "Class A" misdemeanor in relation to sexual indecency with a child. Additionally, the bill clarifies various references throughout the code, such as specifying "firearms" dealers in the context of contraband disposal and refining definitions related to death by delivery offenses.

Other notable changes include clarifying the definition of a caregiver under the Vulnerable Person Protection Act and adjusting the language regarding civil remedies for properties used by criminal enterprises. The bill emphasizes that these changes are technical in nature and do not alter the substantive law. It also includes a provision to ensure that the enactment of this act does not conflict with any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly.
