Emergency clause provided: It is hereby found and determined by the General Assembly that there are some persons who have been declared legally incompetent but who still possess a motor vehicle operator or chauffeur license to operate a motor vehicle on the roads and highways of this State; that this is a hazard to the safety of other motor vehicle operators; that such persons are not mentally capable of properly, safely and responsibly controlling the operation of a motor vehicle, and that in order to remedy this situation, it is necessary that this Act become effective immediately. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval.
Acts 1993, No. 445, § 37: §§ 1-36 effective on and after January 1, 1994.
Acts 1993, No. 445, § 46: Mar. 10, 1993. Emergency clause provided: It is hereby found and determined by the Seventy-Ninth General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that the terms ‘operator's license’ and ‘chauffeur's license’ are obsolete and should be replaced with the term ‘driver's license’; that the chauffeur's license is no longer issued and has been replaced with the commercial driver's license; that federal law governing commercial driver's license authorizes the use of an assigned number on a commercial driver's license instead of the applicant's social security number; and that this act is necessary to eliminate obsolete references in the Arkansas Code and to be in compliance with federal law governing commercial driver's license. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this act being necessary for the preservation of public peace, health and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval.

Acts 2003, No. 1001, § 5: Apr. 1, 2003: Emergency clause provided: It is found and determined by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that the state is experiencing severe revenue shortages which are affecting the operation of many state agencies; that the Department of Arkansas State Police has been hit hard by these shortages which have hampered its ability to replace worn out automobiles and other equipment, not to mention its ability to attract recruits because beginning salaries have remained below average; and that this act is immediately necessary because it provides some much needed additional monies to the Department of Arkansas State Police and should be given immediate effect. Therefore, an emergency is declared to exist and this act being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety shall become effective on: (1) The date of its approval by the Governor; (2) If the bill is neither approved nor vetoed by the Governor, the expiration of the period of time during which the Governor may veto the bill; or (3) If the bill is vetoed by the Governor and the veto is overridden, the date the last house overrides the veto.
Acts 2005, No. 1992, § 6: Apr. 11, 2005. Emergency clause provided: It is found and determined by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that currently there exists some confusion as to whether the fees collected for the reinstatement of a suspended or revoked driver's license should be collected for each offense or for each reinstatement; that due to the confusion, state agencies have not been allowed to collect the revenue that they anticipated for reinstatement fees which is causing a negative fiscal impact; and that this act is immediately necessary to clarify the law to prevent the impairment of agency operations due to a loss of anticipated revenue. Therefore, an emergency is declared to exist and this act being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety shall become effective on: (1) The date of its approval by the Governor; (2) If the bill is neither approved nor vetoed by the Governor, the expiration of the period of time during which the Governor may veto the bill; or (3) If the bill is vetoed by the Governor and the veto is overridden, the date the last house overrides the veto.
