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," specifying that local governments cannot restrict the sale or use of lawn care devices based on their energy sources. Additionally, the bill prohibits 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.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that local governments retain the right to purchase or use lawn care devices powered by specific energy sources and to enforce noise ordinances. This legislation seeks to create a more uniform regulatory environment for lawn care devices, ensuring that local governments cannot impose additional restrictions or taxes that could hinder their use.
