The bill aims to make technical corrections to Title 20 of the Arkansas Code, specifically addressing public health and welfare regulations. It reenacts Arkansas Code 20-22-1011(b) to ensure compliance with the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act as of January 1, 2023, stating that individuals should not be impeded from building egress. 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 new act only makes technical, non-substantive changes to the Arkansas Code.
