The bill amends the Arkansas Hunting Heritage Protection Act by updating definitions and provisions related to commission-managed lands. It introduces new terms such as "Commission-leased lands," which refers to lands leased by the Arkansas State Game and Fish Commission that include public recreational hunting rights. Additionally, the bill clarifies that commission-managed lands can be either commission-owned or commission-leased, and it establishes a new definition for "Commission-owned lands." The bill also modifies the language regarding the management of these lands, emphasizing that decisions should not result in a net loss of habitat available for hunting, with a specific reference date changed to January 1, 2025.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the commission must find replacement acreage for hunting when existing hunting land is closed, ensuring that the replacement land is reasonably located and consistent with the previous hunting discipline. It also revises the reporting requirements, changing the submission date for annual reports to July 1 and specifying the information to be included regarding the acreage of commission-managed lands closed or opened to recreational hunting. The bill clarifies that it does not compel the opening of national parks to hunting and allows private landowners to make decisions regarding access to their lands.
