Arkansas Senate Bill SR20

Introduced
2/14/22  

Caption

To Authorize The Introduction Of A Nonappropriation Bill To Authorize The Issuance And Renewal Of A Special License Plate To Promote And Support The Arkansas Dyslexia Support Group.

Impact

Should SR20 be enacted into law, it will amend Arkansas Code Title 27, Chapter 24, and facilitate the establishment of a dedicated license plate program. The issuance of these special plates will involve a fee structure where $25 will be allocated as a design-use contribution to be remitted monthly to the Arkansas Dyslexia Support Group Incorporated. Additionally, a handling fee of $10 will be levied for administrative purposes, ensuring that the process of acquiring these plates maintains fiscal responsibility by covering administrative costs without impacting direct revenues.

Summary

Senate Resolution 20 (SR20) aims to authorize the issuance and renewal of a special license plate specifically designed to promote and support the Arkansas Dyslexia Support Group. The resolution, introduced by Senator A. Clark, proposes that the Director of the Department of Finance and Administration create and manage this specialized plate. The initiative is intended to raise awareness about dyslexia and provides a mechanism for the public to contribute financially to support programs and resources for individuals affected by this learning disability.

Contention

While the bill serves an important purpose in supporting a meaningful cause, discussions surrounding the effectiveness and necessity of such legislation may arise. Critics might argue that the introduction of a specific license plate type could detract from broader state funding initiatives aimed at education and disabilities. Proponents, however, will likely emphasize the unique challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia and the importance of raising public awareness and resources dedicated to this issue. The bill's success will ultimately depend on the alignment of community support and the legislative will to prioritize this initiative.
