The bill amends Arkansas law regarding the licensing and regulation of motor vehicles, specifically addressing the unauthorized use of temporary buyer's tags and dealer's extra license plates. It clarifies that using or allowing the use of a temporary preprinted paper buyer's tag assigned to a dealer is prohibited unless permitted under existing regulations. Additionally, it introduces a new provision that prohibits the unauthorized use of a dealer's extra license plate for purposes not allowed by law.

Furthermore, the bill revises the regulations surrounding service and handling fees charged by motor vehicle dealers. It removes the previous stipulation that the fee must be between zero and one hundred twenty-nine dollars and instead mandates that the fee should not exceed the reasonable costs associated with handling, processing, and storing documents, as well as other administrative and clerical services. This change aims to provide more flexibility in fee determination while ensuring that charges remain reasonable and justifiable.
