The Arkansas Fourth Amendment Protection Act aims to enhance the privacy rights of individuals by regulating the collection of electronic data and metadata by state agencies. The bill introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, defining key terms such as "electronic data," "metadata," and "state agency." It establishes that state entities are prohibited from assisting federal agencies in collecting electronic data or metadata unless specific conditions are met, such as obtaining informed consent from the individual or complying with a warrant based on reasonable cause.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for a valid warrant, emphasizing that it must describe with particularity the person, place, or thing to be searched or seized. The legislation seeks to protect citizens' rights under the Fourth Amendment by ensuring that their electronic communications and related information are not accessed without proper legal justification.
