New laws take effect tomorrow

All legislation signed into law without an emergency clause or otherwise didn't contain an effective date (like the texting/driving bill) take effect tomorrow. The most widely-discussed new law is the animal cruelty law, and Arkansas will become the 46th state in the union to have a first offense felony aggravated cuelty to animals law.
