The bill amends Arkansas law regarding extended post-conviction no contact orders by adding sexual assault in the second degree to the list of offenses for which such an order may be issued. Specifically, it 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 rape.

In the revised legal language, sexual assault in the second degree is inserted as a new item in the list of offenses, and the numbering of subsequent offenses is adjusted accordingly. This change aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding post-conviction no contact orders, thereby providing additional protections for victims of sexual assault.
