# ARDOT L000254 LPR Rulemaking Production
ARDOT's 39-file response to GOV.QA L000254-071026 documents the development of 12 CAR 150, its derivation from Arkansas State Police rules, the April-May 2026 public-comment process, and separate right-of-way siting guidance. The files total 25,166,135 bytes. ARDOT said redactions were limited to private citizen contact information.
## Duplicate decisions
- Four `Guidelines_for_Cameras...` PDFs are byte-identical variants (SHA-256 `BDA9871E88ADD743AD40F00467DC52E559C90D0596386CD877E8AC0B888936CE`).
- Two oversize/overweight forwarding PDFs are identical variants (`89BEF8698D6021AA875B094D977A3FC5460F00EA7954FA939D00196D4956004C`).
- Two urgent-opposition PDFs are identical variants (`25BEB4F2B6E07DFDFFE5961974B9F29FF85376EAE2A04001B4E25E81E6A0F01B`).
- DOCX/PDF pairs are format variants, not byte duplicates.
## Key takeaways
ASP supplied the operational template ARDOT adapted ([[ASP Policy and ARDOT Drafting Correspondence]], p. 1). The resulting framework requires plate-and-state visual confirmation, ACIC/NCIC confirmation, and reasonable efforts to match wanted-person descriptions before an alert-based stop ([[12 CAR 150 License Plate Reader Rules]], pp. 8-9).
The right-of-way guidance requires a separate drawing per location containing exact coordinates and engineering details ([[ARDOT State Right-of-Way Camera Guidance]], p. 2). No completed permit drawing or site-specific coordinate was produced.
## Request-category assessment
- Comments, hearing records, drafts, rulemaking forms, staff material, BLR markup, and ASP correspondence: produced.
- Vendor correspondence: Axon's formal comments were produced; no Flock correspondence was produced.
- Governor correspondence: none appears in the production.

## Supplemental release
On July 10, 2026, ARDOT released four records it said had been inadvertently omitted from this response. The supplement adds completed public-comment dispositions and a post-comment rules draft; see [[ardot/l000254-lpr-rulemaking-supplement-2026-07-10/_overview|ARDOT L000254 LPR Rulemaking Supplement]]. The later draft creates the unresolved version divergence tracked in [[T008 - Post-Comment LPR Rule Version Divergence]].
