AI Summary

This bill requires the Arkansas Department of Labor and Licensing, in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to create a comprehensive poster about veterans' benefits and services that must be displayed by employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees. The poster will include detailed information on various veteran support resources such as contact information for Veterans Affairs programs, substance abuse and mental health treatment options, educational and workforce training resources, tax benefits, veteran driver's license designations, unemployment insurance eligibility, legal services, and the Veterans Crisis Line contact information. The poster must be displayed prominently in a location accessible to employees in the workplace. This legislation aims to improve veterans' awareness of available support services by ensuring that information is readily accessible in workplaces across the state, potentially helping veterans connect with resources that can support their personal and professional well-being.
