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 tax payment for 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. It specifies that individuals who continue to display an expired temporary buyer's tag will face fines, with a first offense resulting in a $100 fine and subsequent offenses incurring a $250 fine. This aims to ensure compliance with the regulations surrounding temporary tags and to discourage their misuse.
