SB411

Senate Bill 411 creates a new traffic offense in Arkansas regarding the modification of motor vehicle bumpers. Specifically, it prohibits the operation of a passenger vehicle on public roads if the suspension, frame, or chassis has been modified to make the front bumper at least four inches higher than the rear bumper. This legislation introduces a strict liability offense for non-compliance. Penalties for a first offense include a $250 fine, while a second offense within a twelve-month period results in a $500 fine. A third offense within twelve months carries a $500 fine and a mandatory twelve-month driver's license suspension.
