Effective Dates. Acts 1995, No. 851, § 10: Mar. 31, 1995. Emergency clause provided: It is hereby found and determined by the Eightieth General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that the current provisions of Arkansas law providing for penalties for overweight violations are wholly inadequate as a deterrent to unlawful movements of overweight vehicles and that only by the immediate implementation of new penalties by this act may this problem be solved. 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 2003, No. 331, § 3: Mar. 6, 2003. Emergency clause provided: It is found and determined by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas that the economic recession has created an extremely competitive environment for transporting over-length loads of manufactured goods and commodities; that requiring two (2) escort vehicles for over-length loads and imposing additional registration requirements for escort vehicles increases transportation costs for Arkansas' manufacturers and shippers; that other provisions of Arkansas law authorize the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department to impose escort vehicle requirements and specify escort vehicle standards when issuing and administering permits for loads restricted by law; and this act is immediately necessary because all transportation costs must be kept competitive to keep jobs in Arkansas. 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.
