    Department of Finance and Administration Legislative Impact Statement Bill: HB1073 Bill Subtitle: CONCERNING FORMER MILITARY VEHICLES; TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF TITLE FOR A FORMER MILITARY VEHICLE. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Change : Sponsor: Rep. Brandt Smith HB1073 amends Arkansas Code Title 27, Chapter 14, Subchapter 7 and adds a new section, § 27-14-728, to authorize DFA to issue of a certificate of title for a “former military vehicle”. Under the bill, a “former military vehicle” is a motor vehicle manufactured for use by the United States Armed Forces which is sold or transferred with a federal proof of ownership certificate that establishes the motor vehicle for off-road use only. Revenue Impact : Unknown revenue increase to the Highway and Transportation Department if former military vehicles are titled and registered. Taxpayer Impact : Owners of former military vehicles as defined in the bill could title such vehicles if the vehicle meets safety and equipment standards and if all application requirements are met. Resources Required : None. Time Required : Adequate time is provided. Procedural Changes : System Programming and revisions to the Motor Vehicle Procedures Manual would be required. Other Comments : May be subject to enforcement by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration and the Arkansas Highway Police if they do not meet the federal safety requirements. Another issue presented by the bill is that some former military vehicles do not have rubber or pneumatic tires as is currently required by Arkansas law for highway use. There are some former military vehicles that are tracked vehicles that are not equipped with tires. Legal Analysis : Under current Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) procedures, an owner of a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Humvee) that is older than 25 years may obtain a certificate of title from the Office of Motor Vehicle (OMV).
