The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 20 of the Arkansas Code, specifically concerning public health and welfare. It reenacts Arkansas Code 20-22-1011(b) to ensure that building egress at schools complies with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act as of January 1, 2023. Additionally, it amends Arkansas Code 20-56-404(d)(2)-(4) to clarify the conditions under which permits for the sale, distribution, or manufacture of hemp-derived products become void when there are changes in key management positions within partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations.

The bill also includes a section that outlines the legislative intent, emphasizing that the enactment of this act does not repeal any acts passed during the regular session of the Ninety-Fifth General Assembly. It clarifies that in case of any conflicts between this act and previous legislation, the latter will take precedence, ensuring that the act only makes technical, non-substantive changes to the Arkansas Code.
