The proposed bill aims to establish a Green Envelope Program in Arkansas to facilitate better communication between individuals diagnosed with mental illness and law enforcement officers during interactions, particularly in situations involving motor vehicles. The program's intent is to create a supportive environment that recognizes the unique needs of individuals with mental health conditions during encounters with law enforcement.

To implement this program, the Department of Finance and Administration is tasked with developing a specially designed green envelope by January 1, 2026. This envelope will hold essential documents such as a driver's license and vehicle registration, and it will feature communication guidelines on its exterior to help law enforcement officers identify and appropriately engage with individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Starting from the same date, individuals diagnosed with mental illness will be able to request a green envelope at their local department office.
