The bill amends the existing law regarding the Arkansas Trails Council, specifically focusing on the role of the Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism and the position of the council's executive secretary. It specifies that the Department shall designate a representative to serve on the council, replacing the previous requirement for the Department's representative to also serve as the council's executive secretary.

This change clarifies the structure of the council by separating the roles of the representative and the executive secretary, thereby allowing for a more defined participation of the Department in the council's activities. The amendments aim to enhance the operational efficiency of the Arkansas Trails Council and ensure better representation from the Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism.
