Chair opened the morning and called up Senate Bill 676. Sen. Dave Wallace (Dist. 22) summarized the bill as focused on victims, said it would make Arkansas safer for children and disabled people, cited national claim counts to rebut fears of mass litigation, and answered brief questions before the committee passed the bill by voice vote.

Senate Judiciary Committee considered multiple criminal justice and public-safety bills. Lawmakers advanced several technical and procedural measures but narrowly rejected one bill to expand parole consideration for people sentenced as young adults and did not advance an "asleep" consent amendment to sexual-assault law.
