The bill amends existing laws concerning publicity and tourism by updating the definitions of "outdoor recreation operator" and "tramway operator" as they relate to recreational tramways. Specifically, it clarifies that an "outdoor recreation operator" is defined as the owner or operator of an outdoor recreation area, which includes their employees and representatives, but explicitly excludes political subdivisions of the state.

Similarly, the definition of "tramway operator" is revised to refer to individuals or entities that own or control the operation of a recreational tramway, also excluding political subdivisions of the state. These changes aim to refine the legal framework governing outdoor recreation and tramway operations in Arkansas, ensuring that certain governmental entities are not classified under these definitions.
