Oil Dealers Association Warns Over HB 37 Affects Highway Funds
The Oil Dealers Association of Arkansas opposes House Bill 37 now in the Senate, arguing it diverts highway inspection fees from the highway maintenance fund to general revenue. It notes the fees totaled over 123000 in 1940, stressing highway funds must stay intact to support road construction and maintenance and warn against precedent that could erode funding. The piece cautions against any immediate impact but views it as a potential entry point to old funding diversions and urges continued emphasis on keeping highway money dedicated.
