The proposed bill aims to limit the regulation and taxation of lawn care devices by local governments in Arkansas. It introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code that defines "lawn care device" and "local government," and explicitly prohibits local governments from restricting the sale or use of lawn care devices based on their energy sources. Additionally, the bill prevents local governments from imposing excise taxes or fees on the use of these devices, although it allows for the levying of sales and use taxes.

The bill also clarifies that local governments retain the authority to purchase or use lawn care devices that utilize specific energy sources and to enforce noise ordinances. This legislation seeks to create a more uniform regulatory environment for lawn care devices across the state, ensuring that local regulations do not hinder their sale or use.
