This bill amends Arkansas Code 12-12-312(a)(1)(A)(ii) to expand the list of individuals who can receive confidential and privileged records from the State Crime Laboratory. The new provision specifically adds the Arkansas Drug Director to the list of authorized recipients of these records.

The inclusion of the Arkansas Drug Director aims to enhance the state's ability to manage and respond to drug-related issues by ensuring that this official has access to pertinent information held by the State Crime Laboratory. This change reflects a legislative effort to improve coordination and effectiveness in addressing drug-related matters within the state.
