This bill amends the Arkansas Code concerning extended post-conviction no contact orders by adding "sexual assault in the second degree" to the list of offenses for which a court may issue such an order. The amendment specifically modifies Arkansas Code 5-4-106(b) to include this offense alongside existing serious crimes such as capital murder, various degrees of murder, kidnapping, and other forms of assault.

In addition to the insertion of sexual assault in the second degree, the bill also renumbers the subsequent offenses in the list, reflecting the new addition. This change aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding post-conviction no contact orders, thereby providing additional protections for victims of sexual assault and ensuring that courts have the authority to impose restrictions on offenders of this crime.
