The bill amends Arkansas law regarding gambling by authorizing the Arkansas Racing Commission to maintain a statewide self-exclusion list for individuals who wish to voluntarily exclude themselves from entering casino facilities. The new section added to Arkansas Code Title 23, Chapter 117, defines "self-exclusion" and outlines the responsibilities of the commission, including the option to join a multi-state or national self-exclusion program and the ability to share self-exclusion lists with other states. This statewide list will replace the need for individual casinos to maintain separate lists, streamlining the process for both individuals and casinos.

Additionally, the bill establishes guidelines for the self-exclusion process, including that individuals can only add themselves to the list and must present identification to confirm their identity. It also prohibits the commission from disclosing any individual's information on the self-exclusion list without their authorization. The commission is tasked with creating rules to implement this new system, which includes provisions for transitioning from individual casino lists to a statewide list, options for sharing information with other states, and processes for individuals to join or remove themselves from the list.
