Bill > SB548

This bill amends Arkansas law to require law enforcement to send a copy of an arrest warrant to the person named in the warrant within specific timeframes after the warrant is issued. For misdemeanor offenses or violations, the warrant must be sent by certified mail within 10 days of issuance, while for felony offenses, the warrant must be sent within 60 days. The new provision adds a requirement for notification to the individual named in the arrest warrant, which aims to provide more transparency in the legal process and ensure that individuals are aware of outstanding warrants against them. By mandating notification through certified mail, the bill seeks to give individuals an opportunity to address the warrant and potentially resolve the legal matter more efficiently.
