The bill amends existing laws regarding the powers and duties of the Department of Agriculture and the Arkansas Forestry Commission, specifically focusing on the management of fire protection district boundaries. It grants the Department of Agriculture the authority to recommend adjustments to the boundaries of fire protection districts that are overlapping, abutting, or contiguous. The bill outlines the process for districts to request boundary adjustments, including the requirement for an agreement among affected districts or a demonstration of good cause for the alteration.

Additionally, the bill specifies that if the Department of Agriculture makes a recommendation for boundary adjustment, the requesting district must file a petition with the county court within thirty days. The county court is then responsible for considering the recommendation and can either accept, reject, or modify the proposed boundary changes. The bill also clarifies the definition of "district" to include various types of fire protection entities, ensuring comprehensive coverage of organizations providing fire protection services.
