TO PROHIBIT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT FROM REGULATING THE SALE OR USE OF A LAWN CARE DEVICE OR IMPOSING A TAX OR FEE ON THE USE OF A LAWN CARE DEVICE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.

HB 1075 prohibits local governments (like cities or counties) from regulating the sale or use of lawn care devices (such as leaf blowers or lawn mowers) or imposing taxes or fees on them. The law specifically bans local sales and use taxes on these devices but allows governments to enforce noise ordinances or purchase devices using specific energy sources. This bill, now Act 146, took effect February 25, 2025, after passing the Arkansas legislature. It directly affects homeowners, landscapers, and local governments by preventing localized restrictions on common lawn equipment.
