# ARDOT L000254 LPR Rulemaking Supplement
ARDOT released four records on July 10, 2026, stating in the GOV.QA correspondence that they had been inadvertently omitted from its earlier response to L000254-071026 (Gmail thread `19f4cca93473aeba`, message `19f4e03c29842dd4`). The supplement contains 4 files totaling 163,464 bytes: a post-comment rules draft, a completed comment-disposition workbook, a March rule-format revision, and one exact duplicate of the January ASP-derived PDF.
## Inventory and duplicate decisions
| File | Bytes | SHA-256 | Treatment |
|---|---:|---|---|
| `12_CAR_150_-_License_Plate_Reader_Rules.7.7.26.docx` | 32,281 | `AF81C5944733E9059F3F5205B650DB68ECF48964874FCEFA77629F8DAF334CE5` | Unique post-comment branch; [[July 7 2026 Post-Comment LPR Rules Draft]] |
| `Copy_of_LPR_Comments.7.10.26.xlsx` | 25,668 | `38225DBF2AFF1012D1FDF562FB7AF5BE8D1BDFF92B2A5500E4C658C023BCFBED` | Unique completed disposition workbook; [[July 10 2026 Public Comment Dispositions]] |
| `12_CAR_150_-_License_Plate_Reader_Rules.docx` | 26,652 | `68D116709501B3117494FBD5AE6395F8176D2B51852FB763B23660B768C7DA94` | Different from the same-named first-release DOCX; [[March 17 2026 Rule Draft Format Revision]] |
| `LPR_Rules_modified_from_State_Police_1.6.26.pdf` | 78,863 | `59D770A075B53E97C4E8CCF53684E3DB9EAD417E527B85EEEE95818F5886A94E` | Byte-identical to the first-release PDF; collapsed into [[January 2026 ASP-Derived Draft]] as a cross-production variant |
The same-named first-release DOCX is 32,015 bytes with SHA-256 `5C438CD0A7713D3464728D8A4402A169AB53E09B4DD9F2568C2DE5978C86B319`; the supplement DOCX is therefore not a duplicate. Both productions are preserved.
## Key takeaways
The completed workbook records ten substantive comment entries receiving no rule change, two receiving modifications, and one accepted correction. Two additional worksheet rows continue a single long public comment rather than represent new comments ([[July 10 2026 Public Comment Dispositions]], `Copy_of_LPR_Comments.7.10.26.xlsx`, `Sheet1!A2:F16`).
The July draft implements three decisions: it narrows § 150-103(a) to uses authorized by Ark. Code § 12-12-1803, replaces an ambiguous reference to “the division” with “Arkansas Highway Police,” and corrects the interagency-sharing citation from § 12-12-1803 to § 12-12-1804 ([[July 7 2026 Post-Comment LPR Rules Draft]], ¶¶ P0044, P0047, P0057).
The July branch does not carry forward all of the March 17 drafting revisions. For example, the March version divides the special-operation-commanders' duties into numbered subparagraphs and restructures the extended-retention procedure, while the July version restores the earlier single-sentence forms ([[March 17 2026 Rule Draft Format Revision]], ¶¶ P0047-P0049, P0061-P0063; [[July 7 2026 Post-Comment LPR Rules Draft]], ¶¶ P0048-P0049, P0060-P0061). The intended final merge is not established; see [[T008 - Post-Comment LPR Rule Version Divergence]].
## PII handling
The raw workbooks retain the agency-produced commenter field. This wiki aggregates public-comment positions and identifies organizational commenters where analytically necessary, but does not republish citizen email addresses, phone numbers, or other contact details. No identification image was ingested.
