The bill amends the law regarding temporary preprinted paper buyer's tags for motor vehicles in Arkansas. It introduces provisions that allow individuals who have already obtained a temporary buyer's tag to apply for one additional tag under specific conditions. These conditions include paying the required fee, providing proof of assessment and payment of personal property taxes on the vehicle, applying before the expiration of the initial tag, and not having received a permanent license plate for the vehicle. The additional tag will expire 30 days after issuance.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for the misuse of temporary buyer's tags. Specifically, it introduces fines for individuals who continue to display an expired temporary buyer's tag. The penalties are set at $100 for the first offense and $250 for any subsequent offenses. This amendment aims to enhance compliance and accountability regarding the use of temporary buyer's tags in the state.
