Fewer local limits on lawn equipment users

Arkansas counties, cities, towns, and their agencies cannot restrict lawn equipment sales or use based on energy source or consumption. They also cannot charge excise taxes or other use fees on that basis. This covers lawn care, maintenance, and landscaping devices powered by energy or using energy for much of their function. Local sales and use taxes and noise rules remain allowed. Local governments can still choose equipment that uses a particular energy source for their own purchases or use.
