The proposed bill establishes a Green Envelope Program in Arkansas aimed at improving communication between individuals diagnosed with mental illness and law enforcement officers during interactions, particularly in motor vehicle-related situations. The bill mandates the development of a specially designed green envelope by the Department of Finance and Administration by January 1, 2026. This envelope will hold essential documents such as a driver's license and vehicle registration, and will feature communication guidelines on its exterior to assist law enforcement in recognizing and appropriately interacting with individuals with mental illness.

Starting January 1, 2026, individuals diagnosed with mental illness will have the option to request a green envelope at their local department office. The intent of this program is to facilitate better understanding and support during encounters with law enforcement, thereby enhancing the safety and well-being of individuals with mental health conditions.
