LEGISLATURE

In 2007, Arkansas Senate Bill 369 attempted to redefine "sexual abuse of a child" by adding "forcing the listening to a description of sexual intercourse." So, if a parent insists that a child listen to a "birds & bees" talk, or if a school official schedules a child to attend sex education classes, are those crimes?

The Arkansas legislature is not scheduled to meet in regular session in 2008.

Arkansas law is extremely restrictive with regard to nudity, going so far as to prohibit anyone from even advocating nudism in the state. NAC is preparing a challenge to that law, which has an obvious chilling effect on the defense and advancement of Naturism.

The NAC board member responsible for Arkansas is Bob Morton.
