The Fordyce Police Department posted about a new law concerning medical marijuana on its Facebook account Saturday night.
The post said:
The Arkansas legislature passed House Bill 1452, sponsored by Republican state Rep. Robin Lundstrum of Elm Springs and state Sen. Tyler Dees of Siloam Springs, during the last session.
We search out the news so you don't have to. Law enforcement in small towns are stretched thin. That's why journalism focused on community safety is vital.
At South Arkansas Reckoning we dig deeper into issues that affect our small rural towns.
The bill became Act 271 when Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed it into law on March 12.
The new law seeks to "clarify the law on the use of medical marijuana in certain places; and to prohibit the possession of an unsealed container of certain forms of medical marijuana in a motor vehicle."
Read the act below.
