The proposed bill aims to amend the law regarding alcoholic beverages by introducing the "Common Carrier Reporting Act," which requires permitted common carriers to submit quarterly reports detailing their shipments of alcoholic beverages into the state of Arkansas. The new subchapter added to Arkansas Code Title 3, Chapter 5 outlines definitions for terms such as "alcoholic beverages," "common carrier," and "consumer." It mandates that common carriers provide specific information in their reports, including the total gallons of each type of alcoholic beverage shipped, delivery dates, and supplier details. If no shipments occur during a reporting period, carriers must submit a report indicating this.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for common carriers that fail to comply with the reporting requirements, with the Department of Finance and Administration responsible for reporting non-compliance to the Arkansas Department of Transportation. The Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration is also granted the authority to adopt rules to implement the provisions of this subchapter. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance oversight and regulation of alcoholic beverage shipments within the state.
