HB1642

House Bill 1642 amends Arkansas Code § 19-4-906 regarding the restrictions and authorization of motor vehicles owned or operated by state agencies and institutions of higher education. The bill clarifies the definition of 'passenger motor vehicles' by defining them as highway-licensed vehicles that do not require a commercial driver's license to operate. Furthermore, the bill establishes an exemption by explicitly excluding vehicles primarily used for providing health screenings or health treatments from the 'passenger motor vehicle' definition. This change effectively removes these health-related vehicles from the regulatory restrictions placed on other state agency passenger vehicles, such as limitations on fleet size.
