Mr. David Gibbons, Prosecuting Attorney
Fifth Judicial District
P.O. Box 3080
Russellville, AR 72811
Dear Mr. Gibbons:
You have presented the following question for my opinion:
Does Act 988 as amended by Act 1408 of 2001 and codified as
A.C.A. § 27-14-314, restrict the use of fines collected under the Act
as the result of arrest by municipal law enforcement officers to law
enforcement agencies, or may the fine monies be used for equipment
for fire departments or other municipal departments?
RESPONSE
It is my opinion that under the provision about which you have inquired, the fines
collected as a result of arrests by municipal law enforcement officers can be
applied to some uses for fire departments or other municipal departments, as
explained more fully below.
The provision in question states in pertinent part:
(a) Any person who, while driving a motor vehicle more than sixty
(60) days after the period for registering the motor vehicle, is
arrested for failure to register the motor vehicle shall upon
conviction be subject to a penalty in addition to any other penalty
provided for by law. The additional penalty shall be:
323 Center Street * Suite 1100 * Little Rock, Arkansas 72201
(501) 682-2007 * FAX (501) 682-8084
