Findings
Status: in_force

(a) The General Assembly of the State of Arkansas has determined that there is an immediate need for highway improvements throughout the State of Arkansas in order to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens and to promote economic development within the state. The General Assembly has determined that through the revenues generated pursuant to the Arkansas Highway Financing Act of 1999, § 27-64-201 et seq., the State Highway Commission has been successful in completing the rehabilitation of much of the state's interstate highway system and that such rehabilitation has been carried out in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The General Assembly has determined that continued improvement of the interstate highway system is necessary and that the best way to accomplish such improvement expeditiously is through the issuance of additional federal highway grant anticipation and tax revenue bonds to finance such highway improvements. (b) The General Assembly has further determined that the bonds should be payable from revenues currently designated by the Arkansas Highway Financing Act of 1999, § 27-64-201 et seq., including federal highway assistance funding and the proceeds from the Arkansas Distillate Special Fuel Excise Tax Act of 1999 and the Motor Fuel Excise Tax Act of 1999, §§ 26-55-1005 , 26-55-1006 , 26-56-201 , and 27-72-305 , and that the repayment of such bonds should also be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the state.

Liability insurance required - Definition
Status: in_force

(a) (1) (A) It shall be unlawful for the owner of a motorboat of more than fifty horsepower (50 hp) or a personal watercraft to allow the operation of the motorboat or personal watercraft unless it is covered by a liability insurance policy that has been issued by an insurance company. (B) The insurance policy must provide at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) of liability coverage per occurrence. (2) This section does not apply to a motorboat or personal watercraft owned by the United States, a state government, or any political subdivision thereof. (b) (1) (A) If the motorboat or personal watercraft is involved in an accident, failure to present proof of insurance coverage required by subdivision (a)(1) of this section creates a rebuttable presumption that the motorboat or the personal watercraft is uninsured. (B) (i) For purposes of this section, "proof of insurance" shall consist of a policy declaration page or other documentation, or a copy of a policy declaration page or other documentation in an acceptable electronic format, that reflects the motorboat or personal watercraft coverage furnished to the insured by the insurance company and can be conveniently carried in the motorboat or personal watercraft. (ii) Insurance companies shall not be required to provide proof of insurance that may be conveniently carried as required in subdivision (b)(1)(B)(i) of this section if the insurance coverage is provided as part of a homeowner's insurance policy. (iii) As used in this section, "acceptable electronic format" means an electronic image produced on the person's own cellular phone or other type of portable electronic device that displays all the information in the policy declaration or other documentation as clearly as the paper policy declaration or other documentation. (iv) The presentment of proof of insurance in an acceptable electronic format does not: (a) Authorize a search of any other content of an electronic device without a search warrant or probable cause; or (b) Expand or restrict the authority of a law enforcement officer to conduct a search or investigation. (2) Upon a showing that liability coverage required by this section was in effect at the time of arrest, the judge may dismiss the charge imposed under this section and the penalties shall not be imposed. (c) (1) However, if the operator of the motorboat or personal watercraft is involved in an accident on the waters of this state and the motorboat or personal watercraft was not insured as required by this section, the owner of the motorboat or personal watercraft shall be deemed guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
