The bill designates the Labrador Retriever as the official canine of the State of Arkansas. To implement this designation, the Arkansas Code Title 1, Chapter 4 is amended to include a new section, 1-4-142, which states that the Labrador Retriever is recognized as the state's official dog.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that this designation does not obligate any state agency or office to immediately update existing publications or brochures to include the state canine. However, it allows for the inclusion of information about the Labrador Retriever in future publications or scheduled updates, providing flexibility for state agencies in how they incorporate this new designation.
