This bill aims to establish legal provisions regarding the manufacturing, modification, sale, transfer, or operation of robotic devices and uncrewed aircraft that are equipped with weapons. It introduces a new chapter in the Arkansas Code, specifically Chapter 80, which defines key terms such as "robotic device," "uncrewed aircraft," and "weapon." The bill makes it unlawful for individuals to engage in these activities and outlines specific unlawful acts, including using such devices to commit terroristic threats or harassment, or to physically restrain individuals. Violators may face fines ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 and could be held criminally liable for any offenses committed using these devices.

Additionally, the bill provides exceptions for defense industrial companies under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as for individuals acting in their official capacity for the government or accredited bomb squads. It also mandates that law enforcement agencies obtain a warrant before deploying robotic devices for surveillance or tracking on private property. Furthermore, the bill allows the Attorney General to initiate civil actions against individuals suspected of violations, enabling affected parties to seek damages and attorney's fees in court.
