This bill aims to prohibit individuals required to register as sex offenders from entering water parks, swimming areas, or children's playgrounds located within public parks. The legislation repeals the existing Arkansas Code 5-14-133, which previously restricted access to water parks owned or operated by local governments. The new provisions expand the scope of the prohibition to include all public parks, thereby enhancing the safety measures for children in recreational areas.

Additionally, the bill amends Arkansas Code 5-14-134 to clarify definitions and broaden the restrictions. It introduces new definitions for "public park" and "water park," ensuring that these terms encompass a wider range of facilities. The amended law specifies that registered offenders assessed as Level 3 or Level 4 are prohibited from being within 100 feet of these designated areas in public parks. Violating this prohibition remains classified as a Class D felony.
