The proposed bill aims to facilitate the cross deputization of municipal, county, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies on federally-recognized tribal land within Arkansas. It introduces a new subchapter, titled "Subchapter 9 Tribal Lands," to the Arkansas Code, specifically under Title 12, Chapter 6. This new section outlines the framework for agreements between municipalities, counties, or the state and tribal nations that possess federally-recognized land in the state.

Under the provisions of the bill, these agreements would grant law enforcement agencies the authority to enforce tribal, state, and local laws not only on tribal land but also in surrounding jurisdictions. This initiative is designed to enhance cooperation and coordination among various law enforcement entities, thereby improving public safety and law enforcement effectiveness in areas where jurisdictional boundaries may complicate law enforcement efforts.
