The bill aims to repeal the existing prohibition against the sale and distribution of novelty lighters in Arkansas. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate Arkansas Code 5-60-102, which defines novelty lighters and outlines the restrictions on their retail sale, gift, or distribution within the state. The current law categorizes novelty lighters as products designed to ignite combustible materials that feature entertaining audio or visual elements appealing to children, and it imposes penalties for violations of this prohibition.

By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes all legal restrictions on the sale and distribution of novelty lighters, allowing retailers to sell these items without facing fines or legal repercussions. This change reflects a shift in regulatory approach towards novelty lighters, potentially increasing their availability in the market.
