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 that describes the search or seizure with particularity.

Additionally, the bill outlines the definitions of electronic data and metadata, emphasizing the types of information that fall under these categories, including communication content, location data, and document management details. By implementing these provisions, the Arkansas Fourth Amendment Protection Act seeks to safeguard citizens' privacy rights against unwarranted government intrusion into their electronic communications and data.
