OOIDA Call to Action - Arkansas Members
January 28, 2003

Attention, Arkansas truckers! A bill in the state House needs your attention.

Rep. Don House (D-Walnut Ridge) has introduced legislation that will help truckers in the state who were previously base-plated elsewhere.
HB1030 would cap the sales tax at $1,000 for a truck and $500 for a trailer. The bill also contains a clause that would grant a tax "amnesty" to homebound truckers who in the past would otherwise have to pay big bucks in back taxes, penalties and interest for base-plating out of state.
The House is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, Jan. 29. It is vital that you contact your elected House official and let them know how important this bill is to you as an Arkansas trucker. For contact information, visit www.state.ar.us/house/reps.php.
