The bill establishes the Document Validity Division within the office of the Secretary of State in Arkansas, aimed at investigating the validity and truthfulness of documents submitted under specific chapters of the Arkansas Code. The Secretary of State is empowered to designate staff as record validity investigators who will conduct investigations both within and outside the state to determine if documents are false or fraudulent. The division is granted law enforcement authority, including the ability to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, compel witness attendance, and collect evidence. If an individual refuses to comply with a subpoena, the Secretary of State can seek a court order to enforce compliance.

Additionally, the bill outlines that any document found to contain fraud or falsity will be declared null and void for legal purposes overseen by the Secretary of State. The findings of fraud can be referred to the Attorney General or other relevant authorities for further action. The act includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. An emergency clause is also included, emphasizing the immediate need for the act to maintain the integrity of the initiative process in Arkansas, particularly in light of the upcoming 2026 general election.
