Arkansas governor signs parks, tourism bills into law

KUAR | By Josie Lenora

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders wrapped up nearly a week of bill signings on Thursday at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Sanders signed new laws relating to the state Department of Parks, Heritage, and Tourism.

Arkansas First Gentleman Bryan Sanders said the goal of the laws is to “get more kids off screens and outdoors” and to improve their quality of life.

“There has never been a better time to get outdoors in Arkansas,” he said. “It really is our unique selling proposition, particularly in this region of the country.”
