howard baity district 95 here's present uh house bill 1796 uh basically what this bill is is going to do is codify the rule that DFNA placed related to the information that's displayed on Arkansas
driver's license so basically the bill requires the display of gender information on an Arkansas driver's license ID card and specifies that that gender information must be stated as either male or female in the past there was a rule that allowed them to place X on the driver's license if the applicant um didn't identify as male or female dfna changed that by rule back during um previous session and this basically codifies that information so with that i'll entertain any questions

Representative Jason Nazarenko
Unverified
3:44
Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chair and committee. Representative Jason Azarenko, House District 4. And first I'll
Representative Steinley
Unverified
3:56
start by echoing Representative Beatty's. I hope your day goes nice and smooth. So I'm excited to be here today to present House Bill 1798. You'll remember about a month ago or so you guys had House Bill 1064, which was the blue envelope program. This is a very similar, um, bill, which is the green
envelope program. So, uh, this bill to explain it a little bit, this bill was brought to me by a friend and licensed, uh, clinical social worker, Ange Pereira from my district. Um, in the session, you guys passed 1046, uh, 1078, or excuse me, 1798 is going to be a mirror image of that blue Envelope program, addressing individuals with diagnosed mental illness is the main difference. So in 2024, to give you some perspective, here in Arkansas, there was a couple that was diagnosed
with schizophrenia, PTSD, panic disorder, as well as other conditions. They were pulled over because of having expired vehicle tags. Due to the mental illness that the couple suffered, that situation caused a great deal of stress and anxiety, as you may imagine. It escalated very quickly for both the couple and the law enforcement officers that were involved. House Bill 1798 could put safeguards in place that would protect individuals that suffer from mental illness, as well as the law enforcement officers that would have to respond to those incidents. So with January 1st, 2026
date for enactment, there is sufficient time for the green envelope program to be implemented at the same time that the blue envelope program would be. Streamlining the process and not creating a duplication of effort. To address a few questions that came up during the Blue Envelope presentation, training and dissemination of this information is going to be key. I did speak with Sheriff Scott Bradley about that, and there's a lot of different ways that we can get that information out. There's emails that get sent out to all the different law enforcement officers, as well as annual training that has to come up. And so some of
this could be added to that, easily getting it out in their hands so that they understand what what can be expected. One other question that was raised was a placard or symbol for the exterior of the car. Dealing with folks that have suffered from mental illness, that could be something that they would really not want to have on their vehicle because of the possibility of being targeted like was discussed earlier with the blue envelope, but also just the thought process that someone could look at them differently in that way. And so it could play into the mental illness
that they do suffer from so house bill 1798 will not solve every problem for the mentally ill individuals however it has the potential for doing a great job of protecting arkansas as well as law enforcement officers and helping to prevent situations from escalating rapidly endangering arkansas as well as those law enforcement officers so with that i'm open any questions and i do appreciate your support
Speaker 13
6:53
all right question for committee no question excuse me i've been tories you recognize
Representative Randy Torres
Unverified
7:00
for question thank you representative uh question what what what qualifies as a mental
illness for this specific program great question and
Representative Steinley
Unverified
7:07
that was uh uh brought up also in the uh you can kind of see dfna on the bottom of it uh one of the things that we looked at with if we gave specific qualifications if we gave specific mental if we listed certain mental illnesses then that would kind of uh kind of hem us into that only those and so then we'd have to change though so we do look at a diagnosis so the expectation is that a diagnosis would come and then from that licensed clinical social worker then they would talk to their patient
letting them know about this about this blue or green envelope program and then they could then get involved by going to dfna and request it so it would be a diagnosis from one of those health care providers follow up follow up go ahead so will
Representative Randy Torres
Unverified
7:54
they have to have a note from a doctor to get one of these envelopes or
Representative Steinley
Unverified
7:59
another great question and that was also brought up but we didn't put it in there for having to have a any kind of certification or you know paperwork that they would be bringing a dfna felt that the the streamlining it with that social worker or that
medical provider giving them the information prior to them coming would be would be sufficient and then when they show up that's how they would have that information okay thank you thank you representative
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
8:28
steinley you recognize the question thank you mr chair uh representative nazarenko is there any opposition to this bill that you know

Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
11:03

Speaker 53
11:26
okay all in favor say aye all opposed go ahead with your
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
11:32
bill sir thank you mr chair uh committee if you've looked at the bill 1834 uh it's kind of a companion bill that uh representative kavanaugh ran just a few days ago has to do with dealer tags I'll just try to touch on this if you have any questions I'll be glad to try to answer them it adly adds a right of action for the Motor Vehicle Commission to deny or
suspend or revoke a dealer's issued license issued by the commission in the event that the dealer misuses an extra dealer tag license plate by allowing a non-eligible user to drive on the license plates in lieu of the suspension of the dealer's license issued by the commission a dealer may be penalized in an amount up to four thousand dollars per occurrence in lieu of revocation of the dealer's license issued by the commission a dealer may be penalized amount up to ten thousand
dollars per occurrence in addition to this provision section one makes a technical correction from temporary cardboard buyer's tag to a temporary pre-printed paper buyer's tag. Also in Section 2, it allows the Motor Vehicle Commission flexibility to review the dealer service and handling fee. This fee is set by the Commission in Rule 8, which must be approved by the Legislator or Legislative Council.
We'll review it so there will be no charge to the current or present fee. And I'd be glad to take any questions if you've looked at the
bill. Have any questions from committee? Seeing no questions, is there anyone here to speak for or against the bill? Anybody in the audience to speak for or against the bill? Would you like to close
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
13:20
for your bill? I would like to close. Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I would make a motion to do pass. As amended. As
amended. have a motion do pass as amended any discussion on the motion all in favor say aye all opposed
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
13:36
motion your bill has passed thank you chair and committee i appreciate it uh house bill 1845
i guess before i even start into my talking points everything's gone electronic i don't don't have to tell you that everything we do we sign i even sign electronically here in this committee uh we buy we go we go through buy groceries now we sign electronically we sign on our credit cards electronically so we buy electronically so what we're talking about here
in 1845 is to allow dfna to implement electronic uh titling and registration system for the transfer of ownership of motor vehicles uh hb 1845 is a permissive bill allowing dfna to implement a system uh for the electronic ignition and titling and motor vehicles that will allow dealers and in arkansas to digitally upload customer documents with the goal of ultimately just speeding up the registration of titling process and you know sometimes that can be trying that
process we go through now in getting we've even extended our our time from 30 days to 60 days because we've had so much trouble getting titles for clarification on electronic lien and title application provides an electronic means of transferring information between lien holder and jurisdiction motor vehicle agencies to perfect update and to release lien information on vehicle titles. All electronic registration and title system is designed to provide electronic means
of processing the title or registration transactions by an authorized user on behalf of the jurisdiction. States across the country are implementing these electronic procedures for vehicle registration and this will just help move Arkansas in the same direction. That's Also in Section 1 through 7, it puts Arkansas in line with federal e-signature guidelines, and it will allow documents such as an odometer statement and power of attorney forms
to be signed by electronic signature. That's it in a nutshell. Mr. Chair, I'll be glad to answer any questions or
attempt to. Have any questions from committee? Representative Steinwell, you are recognized. Hang on,
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
16:11
just a minute here. I touched the wrong side. Go ahead,
sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Representative Holcomb, I think, you know, obviously
we've got to move into the 21st century, and I can agree a lot with this bill,
but what is going to be the cost to the state of
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
16:33
Arkansas to implement this? I do not have a financial impact statement, but DF&A is here, and I'd be glad to call them to table. If someone would come up, and I did ask
them about it. I know they're not opposed to it, but I'd be
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
16:47
glad to get that for you. If you would, recognize yourself, and you can answer his question. Thank you.
Speaker 72
16:53
Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair, members of the committee. Alicia Austin-Smith, Chief Counsel for Revenue with DFA.
So this bill just hit our system yesterday, so we are still scoring it, but we are not opposed to the bill, and as it stands right now, it's just allowing us to create this system. So right now it's permissive. There's not a cost to the state as the bill
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
17:14
stands right now. But there could be potentially one
Speaker 72
17:17
day when it's implemented, correct? So generally what it's saying is that we would run an RFP process and that I think, again, this was just filed yesterday. I think there was a part that said that it would be at no cost.
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
17:33
I think I read that in. It
Speaker 74
17:42
says on page 6, line 21, if the department contracts with
Speaker 72
17:47
a qualified vendor to implement the system, the contract may provide for a no-cost option to the state.
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
17:54
Okay. Follow-up. Have you all looked? And, of course, it sounds like you just dropped on your lap, But my thought is electronic fraud, any kind of fraud that could come from this.
I mean, you have multiple electronic titles out there potentially. How will they keep up with that? I mean, there's a lot of questions. I don't want to go too deep into the weeds. But as an insurance agent, I see titles come across. And, you know, there's just one title issued. And if there's a duplicate, it's going to say duplicate on it. So I'm just concerned that we may be getting ahead, and maybe that's why we're here. We're just kind of starting to roll the ball down the hill. But my fear is if we roll it down the hill, we may not be able to catch up to it once it gets going.
Speaker 72
18:44
I appreciate that. Generally, the department is certainly in favor of moving into this century, right? And I think that's the reason why everything is a may in this bill, so that we can all work together and make sure everybody's satisfied and then we'll be able to do our normal checks and procedures. Last one,
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
19:02
Mr. Chair. Yes, sir. So I have it on good advice
here. Y'all are going to take this slow, correct? Because you don't want to screw up either, right? Generally, the
Speaker 72
19:13
Department of Finance does not want to screw anything up,
and, yes, we will do
Representative Trey Steimel
Unverified
19:18
our due diligence. All right. Thank
you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead. Yes, sir. I recognize
Speaker 85
19:26
just just so you know following up with mr. Steimel Based on my experience with your pet the past actions of the department I'm confident. I'm confident that during the process of investigation and implementation You'll be a frequent visitor to us to keep us updated on what those things entail. Am I correct?
That is absolutely correct representative. Thank you Representative Perrier,
Representative Chad Puryear
Unverified
20:04
thank you. Did I hear that right? Is it going to be a third-party vendor or is it going to be something you purchase and run through the department itself? Or is this a separate vendor running this whole program? This will be a separate vendor. Any more questions from committee?
Oh, I'm sorry. Representative Torres. Go ahead. Yes. Thank you Is
Representative Randy Torres
Unverified
20:27
it safe to assume that once this is implemented and rolling that there could be quite a bit of cost savings? for us as far as Handling and manual and paper and so forth I would let the representative speak to that question if
Speaker 72
20:41
he wants to right now because we're so early in the stages We have not been able to evaluate that And I'll try to answer it
Representative Randy Torres
Unverified
20:49
best I can You know, I was one of those
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
20:53
guys that was going to make a million dollars,
and I got in the car note business one time, and I did not make a million dollars. I ended up spending my own money. But I think the biggest benefit we're going to see from it is we're going to be able to expedite the movement of titles and transfers and make sure that leans or I think that's going to be the big deal. I think it'll just expedite what we're doing, and I feel secure in, of course, anything you know, anything can be hacked.
That's the way it is electronically. It happens all the time, but I'm confident in DF&A that we'll take all the security measures if they decide or when they decide to implement this. Okay, thank you. Be glad to answer any other questions. And
Representative Randy Torres
Unverified
21:41
I would appreciate it if you would go ahead and hammer me here because I don't want to get on the floor and
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
21:48
get an anticipated question. So if you have any concerns, let's please air them out here today. I don't want you to go easy on me because I'm your chairman.
Don't worry. Thank you. Thank you. Well, you know, and I can say from a guy that used to own a body shop and rebuild wrecks, when you send a title down here and it takes him three to five weeks to return your title, you know, this is something that can in any way speed that process up. for you know for the
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
22:17
builders and people on the cars that's it'll be a good process
well and two another another issue is getting titles out of state that that's a that's a big a big deal i think this is going to help us in in the future to expedite that help us move that forward so i think it's a win-win in the future once we get it implemented and uh get it done but there again
uh that's when dfna decides to do this that's up to them and they see the cost if if it's cost-efficient
for the product that's when it'll be
done so any more questions from committee okay uh just oh i'm sorry i do have one more popped up here representative hall go ahead i'm sorry
Representative Brad Hall
Unverified
22:56
you might have already said this but is there any other states that
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
23:01
went to this system there's other states uh doing this i i didn't have this the states per se but
But, Greg, would you happen to – can
Speaker 102
23:17
I call someone else to the table? Yes, sir. Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 104
23:21
If you all are through with doing that, this – Greg Kirkpatrick. Greg, introduce yourself. Recognize yourself, and you can proceed, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Greg Kirkpatrick, Arkansas Automobile Dealers Association. And Representative Hall, these programs are going all across the country at this point. I know West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, actually almost all states are in some level of this electronic registration and titling implementation.
Arkansas is one of a few that has fewer services. And really what we're talking about mostly in this bill is the transfer of the paperwork. So when you go buy a car, you're doing everything for the most part on a keypad. At this point, those documents are now, in many cases, still having to be printed out, postmarked, and sent to DF&A. This is going to allow DF&A to start implementing, and it is permissive to implement a system that would allow dealers to upload that paperwork digitally.
That's really fundamentally what it is. That's the e-registration and titling part. And then to Representative Stimel's kind of concern on the title piece, that's really a separate conversation. There is a section that does allow DF&A at some point in the future to look at a digital title. This bill does not do that. That is a concerning area for a lot of people, and we want to take that very slowly. We're all incredibly concerned how that technology is going to move forward. We like paper, too.
So this process, but the process of getting the customer's paper to the state as quickly as possible, then it allows the lien holder to release the lien quicker. It just allows the transaction to be sped up. So it really is a benefit to consumers. And, again, it is being implemented across the
country. Any more questions? Thank you, sir. Appreciate you. Thank you. Oh, hang on. I have Representative Berry. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm sorry.
Representative Stan Berry
Unverified
25:18
Now I'm confused. Will you eventually get a paper title? Yes, this isn't doing away
Speaker 104
25:27
with a paper title. This really is just the transfer. So there are a couple of holdups right now in the customer being able to register their vehicle. The holdups are there are two pieces of paper that we're still signing in Arkansas, an odometer disclosure and a power of attorney form in the Truth and Mileage Act called a TEMA-2.
Right now, the state's still requiring those to be handled with a wet signature. Under federal law, you're allowed to provide an electronic signature. So the vast majority of this bill is just clarifying that. But all of it's permissive, though. But the actual title itself is not changing until the state decides to start implementing a digital title. And we're not there yet. So, yes, you will still have a paper title in Arkansas.
Thank you. Yes, sir. Any more questions from committee? Thank you,
Speaker 53
26:29
sir. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, members of the committee. I'm sorry that I wasn't clear on that. We'll still be getting the paper titles currently.
Any more questions from committee? If not, we don't have anyone signed up to speak for or against the bill. Anybody in the audience want to speak for or against the bill? if not you want to go ahead
Representative Mike Holcomb
Unverified
26:48
and close for your bill sir i do mr chair and and this bill has been reviewed by a number of stakeholders including dfna who you heard from the arkansas bankers
association you know carvana sells on tv and you never see the car except for a picture they're really on board with it uh and and it provides with every effort being made to satisfy and address concerns as at this time. And I think there's no opposition that I know of, and no one has contacted me in regards to this bill. And with that, Mr. Chair,
I'm closed and I would make a motion do pass. I have a motion do
pass. Any discussion on the motion?
All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed, same
sign. Motion passes. Congratulations, your bill has passed.
