The General Assembly recognizes that a motor vehicle is a major consumer acquisition and that buyers of motor vehicles rely heavily on the odometer reading as an index of the condition and value of a vehicle. The General Assembly further recognizes that buyers are entitled to rely on the odometer reading as an accurate indication of the mileage of the motor vehicle and that an accurate indication of the mileage assists a buyer in deciding on the safety and reliability of the vehicle. The purposes of this subchapter are to prohibit tampering with motor vehicle odometers and to provide safeguards to protect purchasers in the sale of motor vehicles with altered or reset odometers. It is the intent of the General Assembly that this subchapter incorporate certain provisions of newly codified federal law to supplement existing Arkansas law. To that end, any rule or regulation in effect under a law replaced by this subchapter continues in effect under the corresponding provision enacted by this subchapter until repealed, amended, or superseded. In addition, where no substantive change in law has occurred, an action taken or an offense committed under a law replaced by a section of this subchapter is deemed to have been taken or committed under the corresponding provision enacted by this subchapter.
