The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code 5-60-102, which currently prohibits the sale and distribution of novelty lighters. This section defines novelty lighters as products designed to ignite combustible materials that feature entertaining audio or visual elements appealing to children aged ten or younger. The existing law also outlines exceptions for lighters manufactured before 1980 and those lacking the necessary components to produce a flame.

By repealing this prohibition, the bill effectively removes all restrictions on the retail sale, gifting, or distribution of novelty lighters within the state. Consequently, individuals or businesses would no longer face penalties, including fines ranging from $25 to $500, for violating the previous law regarding novelty lighters.
