TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING USED MOTOR VEHICLES BUYERS PROTECTION; AND TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE USED MOTOR VEHICLE DEALER'S LICENSE APPLICATION PROCESS.

House Bill 1989 proposed amendments to Arkansas law regarding used motor vehicle buyer protection and the dealer licensing process. The bill updated and added definitions for various terms, including "auto auction," "used motor vehicle dealer," "wholesale used motor vehicle dealer," "used motor vehicle salesperson," "convicted," and "retail used motor vehicle dealer." It also revised penalties for violations of used motor vehicle buyers' protection laws, making a third or subsequent offense a Class D felony with a three-year license suspension. This legislation aimed to clarify regulations for used motor vehicle sales and enhance consumer protection.
