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 authorized to designate staff as record validity investigators who will have the authority to conduct investigations both within and outside the state. The division is empowered to administer oaths, issue subpoenas, compel witness attendance, collect evidence, and require the production of relevant documents. If an individual refuses to comply with a subpoena, the Secretary of State can seek a court order to enforce compliance, with penalties for contempt of court applicable for non-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 Document Validity Division can refer findings of fraud to the Attorney General, prosecuting attorney, or other relevant state agencies for further action. The bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. An emergency clause is also included, emphasizing the immediate necessity of the act to maintain the integrity of the initiative process in Arkansas, particularly in light of the upcoming 2026 general election.
