HB1671

House Bill 1671 amends Arkansas code regarding penalties for used motor vehicle dealers who violate licensing laws. It clarifies that a first violation of the subchapter is a Class A misdemeanor, while a second violation is a Class D felony. For a third or subsequent violation, the bill maintains the Class D felony classification and mandates a three-year suspension of the dealer's license for each occurrence. Additionally, the bill grants the Director of the Division of Arkansas State Police the authority to impose a civil fine of up to $1,000 per violation, which can be applied in addition to or instead of the criminal penalties.
