TO ALLOW FOR THE CROSS DEPUTIZATION OF MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, STATE, AND TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ON FEDERALLY-RECOGNIZED TRIBAL LAND WITHIN THE STATE.

SB 510 allows Arkansas municipalities, counties, the state, and federally recognized tribal nations to enter agreements enabling law enforcement from all these entities to enforce laws on tribal lands within Arkansas. It directly affects tribal nations with federally recognized land in the state and their local, county, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies. The key provision creates a legal framework for cross-deputization, meaning officers from one jurisdiction can temporarily exercise authority under agreements to enforce tribal, state, and local laws on tribal lands. This bill establishes a formal process for collaboration but does not change existing jurisdictional boundaries or require specific tribes to participate.
