TO ESTABLISH THE NO GOVERNMENT TRESPASSING ACT; AND TO PROHIBIT GAME WARDEN TRESPASS ONTO PRIVATE LAND.
HB 1867, a withdrawn bill (filed March 20, 2025; withdrawn April 3, 2025), proposed to establish the "No Government Trespassing Act" in Arkansas. It would have prohibited game wardens from entering private land without a warrant or the landowner's permission, except in emergencies like injured wildlife or public safety threats. The bill included penalties for violations, such as making illegally obtained evidence inadmissible and allowing landowners to sue for damages. It directly affected private landowners and game wardens by changing entry rules and legal accountability. As the bill was withdrawn, it did not become law.
