20 CAR Part 137 – Rules Pertaining to Outdoor Mass Gatherings

This is the principal Arkansas state-level mass-gathering framework.

The rules were promulgated by the Arkansas State Board of Health and establish requirements covering:

• event notification
• Department of Health approval
• site plans
• attendance
• ingress and egress
• water
• toilets
• handwashing
• sewage
• solid waste
• site area
• parking
• food establishments
• emergency medical facilities
• ambulances
• hospital arrangements
• weather contingencies
• site clearance
• and enforcement.

The official Code of Arkansas Rules currently identifies Part 137 as active and current.

This should be positioned at the very top of the Arkansas Working With Crowds page.

20 CAR §137-101 – Definitions

Arkansas defines an Outdoor Mass Gathering as an actual or reasonably anticipated assembly of more than 1,000 persons who continue or can reasonably be expected to continue in attendance for 24 hours or more.

This is therefore a combined attendance-and-duration test rather than merely an attendance threshold.

The definition contains important exclusions.

The rules do not treat qualifying permanent environments in the same manner, including:

• stadiums
• athletic fields
• arenas
• coliseums
• amusement parks
• and government-sponsored fairgrounds.

The definition should therefore not be interpreted as meaning that every Arkansas event exceeding 1,000 people is automatically regulated by Part 137.

The definition of sponsor is broad and captures persons or organisations responsible for staging or promoting the gathering.

20 CAR §137-102 – Compliance

This is one of the strongest event-approval provisions identified in the US state research so far.

Before a person, firm, corporation or governmental agency proposes or advertises a qualifying outdoor mass gathering for entertainment, music, exhibition or another form of assembly, approval must be received from the Arkansas Department of Health within the regulatory framework.

The regulation is therefore not merely concerned with inspecting an event once it has been established. Regulatory engagement is required during the planning process.

Under §137-102, a Preliminary Notice of Intent is required at least:

90 days before the proposed outdoor mass gathering.

The sponsor is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements.

The Department may exercise discretion concerning exceptions or waivers where the applicable rules permit them, but these should not be assumed.

A detailed plan concerning sanitation and medical care must be submitted at least:

45 days before the event.

This creates a two-stage state planning process:

90 days – Preliminary Notice of Intent

followed by

45 days – detailed sanitation and medical-care plans.

This is one of the clearest formal planning timelines identified in the state research.

20 CAR §137-103 – Preliminary Notice and Plans

The Preliminary Notice must identify the people responsible for major operational areas of the gathering.

This includes responsibility for:

• sanitary facilities
• solid-waste disposal
• food service
• and emergency medical services.

The submission must also provide information concerning:

• the event name
• site
• location
• dates
• times
• purpose
• anticipated attendance
• and the maximum number of people the sponsor intends to allow on the site.

This last requirement is particularly relevant to capacity planning because the sponsor must identify not only expected attendance but a maximum permitted population.

The detailed planning submission must include a map or plan identifying matters including:

• site dimensions
• topography
• roads
• streets
• ingress
• egress
• sanitary facilities
• medical facilities
• water systems
• and sewage systems.

A narrative description of the methods, facilities and equipment to be used must accompany the plans.

Food establishments and responsible operators must also be identified.

This is effectively a statutory event site-management planning process.

The detailed submission must identify the arrangements by which attendance will be controlled.

This is particularly important to crowd-management research because Arkansas expressly requires a planning process concerned with maintaining attendance within the maximum proposed population.

The regulation should therefore be cross-referenced with:

• ticketing
• entry control
• site capacity
• perimeter security
• attendance monitoring
• and escalation arrangements where attendance approaches the maximum allowed population.

The Arkansas rules require a written plan for the evacuation of sick or injured persons.

This plan must identify matters including:

• evacuation arrangements
• routes
• alternative routes
• maps
• and hospitals to which casualties may be transported.

This is considerably more detailed than simply requiring the presence of first aid.

20 CAR §137-104 – Water Quality

Arkansas requires drinking water to meet applicable public-health standards.

A public water supply should be used where available.

Where another qualifying water supply is used, it must satisfy the applicable semi-public water standards and chlorination requirements.

The regulation establishes an explicit event water quantity of at least:

one gallon of water per person per day.

The event water-distribution system must provide water at a pressure of at least:

20 pounds per square inch.

Storage equivalent to approximately half a day's expected consumption is also recommended within the regulatory framework.

Arkansas requires hydrants or self-closing faucets on the event distribution system at a minimum ratio of:

one outlet per 1,000 persons.

Where camping and event activity areas are separated, the rules provide for approximately:

40% of outlets in the activity area

and

60% in the camping area.

A water outlet is also required within 25 feet of each food-service facility and emergency medical facility.

This is an unusually specific event-infrastructure requirement.

20 CAR §137-105 – Water Supply Design

Where a semi-public water supply is used, Arkansas establishes requirements concerning construction, disinfection and bacteriological testing.

The regulations include chlorination of new or repaired systems and continuing residual-disinfection requirements while the system is in service.

20 CAR §137-106 – Toilet Facilities

Separate toilet facilities must be provided for each sex and must be plainly identified.

The minimum provision is:

one toilet for every 100 persons or fraction thereof.

Where activity and camping areas are geographically separated, Arkansas again uses a 40/60 distribution model.

Approximately:

40% of toilets should be situated within the activity area

and

60% within the camping area.

Portable toilets must be serviced frequently enough to prevent overflow or the development of unsanitary conditions.

Waste removal must be undertaken through the appropriate licensed system.

All-weather access must be available so servicing vehicles can reach toilet locations.

This creates an operational requirement not merely to supply sufficient toilets at opening, but to maintain them through the duration of the gathering.

Arkansas requires handwashing facilities at a ratio of:

one handwashing facility for every ten portable toilets or fraction thereof.

Soap, water and single-use drying facilities are required.

Alcohol-based or similar sanitising products may be permitted within specified circumstances but do not replace required soap-and-water handwashing for food-service personnel.

20 CAR §137-107 – Solid Waste

Waste containers must be provided in sufficient number and locations to prevent indiscriminate disposal of waste.

Containers must be:

• impervious
• capable of being securely closed
• and emptied at least daily or more frequently where necessary.

Arkansas establishes a minimum event waste-storage provision of:

one cubic yard of storage capacity for every 125 persons or fraction thereof.

Waste must ultimately be disposed of at an approved facility.

20 CAR §137-108 – Site Requirements

Arkansas requires an outdoor mass-gathering site to provide at least:

100 square feet of site area per person.

The area allocated for parking is excluded from this calculation.

This figure is particularly interesting from a crowd-planning perspective because Arkansas regulates the overall physical size of the event environment rather than relying solely upon localised occupant-load calculations.

The site must possess adequate natural drainage.

Locations susceptible to:

• swamping
• poor drainage

or flash flooding

are identified as unacceptable within the rules.

This requirement should be cross-referenced with the separate Arkansas hazardous-weather contingency requirement.

The sponsor must obtain relevant information or confirmation from local law-enforcement and fire agencies concerning the suitability and width of roads serving the gathering.

Roads must be:

• all-weather
• self-draining
• and capable of allowing emergency vehicle access without obstruction.

Road grades may not exceed 12% under the applicable rule.

Although local agencies are involved in this assessment, the requirement arises directly from the state mass-gathering regulation and therefore properly belongs within this state-level reference.

Arkansas establishes a specific parking-area ratio.

At least:

300 square feet of parking area for every four anticipated attendees

must be provided.

Each individual parking space must be at least:

10 feet by 20 feet.

Parking must be organised so that vehicle movement does not create blockages and access to exits is maintained.

This should be cross-referenced with:

• ingress
• egress
• traffic management
• emergency routes
• pedestrian routes
• and event dispersal.

20 CAR §137-109 – Final Cleanup

After the event, the site must be cleaned and unsanitary conditions corrected.

Refuse, litter and solid waste generated by the gathering must generally be removed within:

24 hours after the event ends.

20 CAR §137-110 – Food

Every food establishment operating at a regulated outdoor mass gathering must display a valid food-service permit and comply with Arkansas retail food-establishment requirements.

20 CAR §137-111 – Emergency Medical Facilities

At least one emergency aid station must be provided at a regulated outdoor mass gathering.

The station must be:

• readily accessible
• clearly identifiable
• and marked by a prominent sign.

Arkansas goes considerably further than simply requiring first-aid equipment.

The aid station must have access to an appropriately licensed Arkansas paramedic during scheduled event activities.

The rules also establish conditions under which a registered nurse may be designated as being in charge when the paramedic is not physically present, coupled with medical oversight arrangements involving an Arkansas-licensed physician.

This should be read directly against the current regulatory wording when preparing an actual event medical plan.

Arkansas provides unusually detailed requirements for the emergency aid station.

The station is required to provide an appropriate weatherproof facility or tent with sufficient working space.

The regulation identifies a minimum area of approximately:

100 square feet.

Required or identified equipment includes items such as:

• electricity and lighting
• emergency lighting
• cots
• blankets
• tables and chairs
• secure medical storage
• oxygen
• stretchers
• potable water
• medical-waste arrangements
• and a fire extinguisher.

This is one of the most prescriptive state event-medical provisions identified so far.

Arkansas establishes specific ambulance numbers according to expected attendance.

For a regulated outdoor mass gathering:

Up to 10,000 attendees – at least 1 ambulance

10,000 to 50,000 attendees – at least 2 ambulances

For every additional 25,000 attendees – 1 additional ambulance

These ambulances are required to be available on site on a full-time basis within the regulatory framework.

This is a particularly significant reference because many US states do not provide a general statutory event attendance-to-ambulance ratio.

The sponsor must establish arrangements with appropriate medical services and notify hospitals that may receive casualties.

Hospitals must have suitable emergency access arrangements.

Site maps showing:

• event layout
• ingress
• egress
• and medical locations
• must be provided to ambulance and relevant emergency personnel.

This demonstrates a state regulatory expectation for pre-event integration between event medical provision and external healthcare resources.

20 CAR §137-112 – Weather

The sponsor must develop a contingency plan addressing potentially dangerous weather.

The plan must consider measures including:

• evacuation
• event cancellation
• event delay

and

facilities or arrangements capable of reducing the impact of hazardous weather.

This requirement should be highlighted within the Working With Crowds severe-weather and show-stop research.

20 CAR §137-113 – Penalties

Violations of Arkansas State Board of Health requirements or relevant licence, permit or regulatory conditions can result in civil penalties.

The rules provide for penalties of up to:

$250 per violation

within the specified framework.

A continuing violation can create a separate violation for each day it remains unresolved.

State Fire Marshal's Office

The Arkansas State Fire Marshal's Office sits within the Arkansas Department of Public Safety / Division of Emergency Management structure.

The State Fire Marshal has responsibility for the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code and associated statewide fire-safety functions.

12 CAR Part 15 – Arkansas Fire Prevention Code Rules

The current Arkansas Fire Prevention Code is the 2021 edition.

It superseded the 2012 edition and became effective on 1 January 2023.

The Arkansas Fire Prevention Code is structured around:

Volume I – Fire

based upon the 2021 International Fire Code with Arkansas amendments;

Volume II – Building

based upon the 2021 International Building Code with Arkansas amendments;

and

Volume III – Residential.

Within its applicable jurisdiction, the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code provides the code framework for matters potentially affecting events including:

• assembly occupancies
• occupant load
• means of egress
• exit capacity
• fire-department access
• crowd-management provisions
• fire extinguishers
• fire alarms
• emergency planning
• tents
• membrane structures
• temporary special-event structures
• open flames
• cooking
• hazardous materials
• fireworks
• and pyrotechnic effects.

The Arkansas amendments must be checked alongside the underlying model-code provisions.

22 CAR §111-407 – Building Code

For state projects, the adopted building code is the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code specified within 12 CAR Part 15.

State-specific requirements and statutory provisions take precedence where applicable.

This is particularly relevant where state-owned venues or state-funded event facilities are constructed or altered.

Arkansas Division of Emergency Management – ADEM

ADEM provides Arkansas's statewide leadership and coordination for preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation.

2025–2027 Arkansas Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan – Revision 1

The Arkansas Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan establishes the state's all-hazards structure for coordinating government and other resources during emergencies.

It operates through emergency-support functions and establishes priorities relating to:

• life safety
• health
• incident stabilisation
• property
• critical infrastructure
• and recovery.

This is not an ordinary event permit but provides the statewide framework into which a major incident at a concert, festival, sporting event or other gathering could escalate.

ADEM's current Integrated Preparedness Plan establishes statewide preparedness priorities and training/exercise planning.

AWIN provides Arkansas's statewide interoperable public-safety communications system.

This can become operationally relevant where event incidents require coordination between:

• law enforcement
• fire
• EMS
• emergency management
• and other public-safety agencies.

ADEM's current emergency communications and planning resources include the Arkansas Storm Plan.

This is relevant to severe-weather decision-making affecting outdoor festivals, fairs, concerts and camping events.

The Outdoor Mass Gatherings regulation should nevertheless remain the principal event-specific weather source because §137-112 directly requires a hazardous-weather contingency plan.

20 CAR Part 81 – Rules for Emergency Medical Services

Arkansas regulates ambulance services and emergency medical personnel through the statewide EMS framework.

This is important to events because the ambulances and EMS personnel required under the Outdoor Mass Gathering regulations must themselves operate within Arkansas's regulated EMS system.

20 CAR §81-104

Ground ambulance services are subject to state licensing and operational requirements.

No separate universal medical-attendance formula needs to be inferred for outdoor mass gatherings because Part 137 already provides explicit ambulance ratios.

Arkansas Department of Health – Temporary Food Service Guidelines

A Temporary Food Establishment is generally a retail food establishment operating for no more than:

14 consecutive days

in conjunction with a single event or celebration.

Each for-profit temporary food establishment operating at a public event must obtain the appropriate permit.

Nonprofit organisations conducting qualifying temporary fundraising food operations may be exempt from the permit fee but remain subject to inspection.

Temporary food establishments are inspected through the Arkansas Department of Health environmental-health system before the relevant permit is issued.

The permit must be conspicuously displayed.

The current ADH guideline identifies a temporary permit fee of $5 per operating day for applicable establishments.

The current temporary-food application asks for event and operating information and should be submitted sufficiently early for review.

ADH advises that late applications may leave insufficient time for regulatory review.

Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Division

Alcohol at temporary events is controlled through the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.

The current regulatory framework contains temporary permits for:

• beer
• wine
• spirits
• temporary expansion
• and other event-related alcohol operations.

3 CAR §1-208

Temporary permits for the sale of spirituous alcoholic beverages can be issued for functions sponsored by or benefiting qualifying nonprofit or charitable organisations.

A permit may cover no more than:

five consecutive days.

The current permit fee is:

$50.

The event must be situated in an area where the applicable local-option election allows on-premises consumption of spirituous beverages.

Applications must be received by Arkansas ABC at least:

three weeks before the event.

3 CAR §1-207

Arkansas similarly operates a temporary wine permit for qualifying nonprofit or charitable events.

The permit is generally limited to:

five consecutive days

• and the current fee is:
• $50.

The application must normally be received at least three weeks before the event.

3 CAR §1-201 – Permit Classifications

Arkansas's ABC rules recognise a range of permit classes including:

• temporary beer
• temporary wine
• temporary spirits
• temporary expansion permits
• and permits applicable to qualifying large-attendance facilities.

The precise licence required depends upon the nature of the event, alcohol type, premises and local-option status.

The Arkansas ABC framework contains a Large Attendance Facility permit category relevant to qualifying facilities with seating capacity of at least 500 persons that are used for convention, tourism or related activities under the regulatory definition.

This can be relevant to:

• arenas
• event centres
• large entertainment venues
• and similar facilities.

3 CAR §30-103

Arkansas permits alcoholic beverages within designated State Park circumstances under the applicable permit framework.

Special or outdoor event areas may be designated, and alcohol use remains subject to the conditions established within the state rules.

Arkansas State Police – Private Investigators and Security Companies

Arkansas State Police administer the state licensing framework covering private-security companies and security personnel.

The relevant Arkansas statutory framework is principally contained within Arkansas Code Title 17, Chapter 40 and the associated Code of Arkansas Rules.

17 CAR §350-1004 – Phase I Training

Arkansas requires applicable Private Security Officers, Commissioned Security Officers and Commissioned School Security Officers to complete prescribed Phase I training.

The minimum initial Phase I programme is:

eight hours.

Training includes the legal authority and limitations associated with security activity and other prescribed security subjects.

Event organisers using contract security should therefore establish that the company and personnel fall within and comply with the appropriate Arkansas licensing category.

17 CAR §350-1002

Additional requirements apply to commissioned security officers authorised to carry firearms.

The Arkansas regulatory framework should therefore be checked where an event security operation proposes armed personnel.

No universal Arkansas security-officer-to-attendee ratio applying to every event was identified.

Arkansas State Fire Marshal – Pyrotechnic Licences

The Arkansas State Fire Marshal administers state licensing associated with fireworks and pyrotechnics.

Current licence categories include:

• Pyrotechnic Shooter
• Manufacturer
• Importer
• Distributor
• and associated fireworks activities.

Event organisers proposing professional fireworks or pyrotechnics should establish the appropriate state licensing requirements together with any display-site and AHJ approvals applicable to the particular event.

Arkansas has a substantial statewide amusement-ride safety system.

Arkansas Code §23-89-505 – Requirements Before Operation

Before a regulated amusement ride or attraction is operated, the applicable statutory requirements include:

• safety inspection documentation
• liability insurance
• and notification to the Arkansas Division of Labor concerning the location and operating period.

The state framework also requires specified documentation to be available to event sponsors or landowners under the applicable circumstances.

23 CAR §400-104

Arkansas maintains highly specific inspection frequencies.

Permanent amusement rides or attractions:
Inspected twice each calendar year.

Portable amusement rides or attractions:
Inspected every time they are moved to a new location within Arkansas and before opening to the public.

Inflatable attractions:
Generally inspected every six months.

Self-contained mobile playgrounds:
Generally every six months.

Artificial climbing walls:
Generally every six months.

Mechanical bulls:
Every six months.

Gyro devices:
Every six months.

Trackless trains:
Every six months.

This is considerably more specific than the amusement-device regimes of several previously reviewed states.

Where a state amusement inspector determines that a ride or attraction presents an unsafe condition affecting patron safety, the ride can be prohibited from operating.

Operation may not recommence until the unsafe condition is corrected and appropriate authorisation is provided.

The Arkansas framework also permits red-tagging, cease-and-desist action and administrative penalties.

17 CAR §54-307

Arkansas specifically addresses body-art activity at public gatherings.

Body art may not simply be undertaken at:

• carnivals
• mass gatherings
• public gatherings

or temporary gatherings

without the appropriate approved mobile-facility or temporary-demonstration licensing arrangement.

This is a highly event-specific state provision.

17 CAR §54-308

Where a body-art event is held for:

• educational purposes
• trade purposes
• demonstrations

or similar activity,

the event host must obtain the appropriate permit.

The host's temporary demonstration licence application is generally required at least:

45 days before the event.

Individual temporary demonstration artist applications are generally required at least:

seven days before the event.

20 CAR Part 6

Arkansas's Clean Indoor Air framework applies to public places and enclosed workplaces.

The definition of public place encompasses a number of event-relevant environments.

20 CAR §6-102 – Definitions

The Arkansas framework identifies sports arenas and other public places within its definitions.

A sports arena includes environments such as:

• stadiums
• sports pavilions
• gymnasiums
• boxing arenas
• swimming pools
• roller rinks
• ice rinks
• and bowling establishments.

20 CAR §6-103 – Prohibition

Smoking is prohibited in qualifying public places and enclosed areas of employment, subject to the statutory and regulatory exceptions.

11 CAR Part 12 – Child Labor Rules

Arkansas child-labour requirements can be relevant to event employers using younger personnel within:

• hospitality
• food service
• retail
• ticketing
• entertainment
• merchandising
• and other event operations.

11 CAR §12-502

Arkansas regulates the days and hours during which applicable younger workers can be employed.

Specific restrictions apply to:

• school periods
• night work
• maximum daily hours
• and maximum weekly hours.

Additional restrictions can arise for employment in environments including:

• alcohol businesses
• racetracks and gambling establishments
• and security work.

11 CAR §§12-102 and 12-403

Arkansas provides specific rules for children working in entertainment.

The framework includes work-permit arrangements and controls over:

• working hours
• rest
• school
• performance
• and welfare.

This can become relevant to concerts, television, theatre, film, productions and other live entertainment involving minors.

Arkansas Code §20-14-304

Arkansas law protects the right of a person with a qualifying disability to be accompanied by a service animal within public places and public accommodations within the statutory framework.

Additional charges may not be imposed merely because a service animal is present, although responsibility can remain for damage caused by the animal.

This is relevant to:

• event entrance policies
• search procedures
• spectator areas
• accessible facilities
• customer service
• and venue rules.

22 CAR §50-126

Arkansas State Parks maintain restrictions concerning animals in specified park facilities, with service animals treated within the applicable exception framework.

Arkansas has unusually detailed state rules concerning historical re-enactment events involving black powder.

22 CAR §50-139

For applicable Arkansas State Park or Department-sanctioned events involving black-powder weapons, organised participating groups must comply with prescribed safety arrangements.

Requirements include:

• recognised unit organisation
• safety and authenticity guidelines
• submission of documentation before participation
• approval of scenarios and event boundaries
• approved artillery placement
• equipment inspections
• and insurance or appropriate waiver arrangements.

The current rule provides for liability insurance of $1 million within the applicable framework unless the stated alternative arrangements apply.

This is specialist material but provides a useful example of Arkansas imposing detailed participant, equipment and spectator-safety arrangements for a particular event type.

17 CAR §225-204 – Event Licence

Arkansas regulates professional boxing and other qualifying combative-sport events through the Athletic Commission framework.

An event licence application is generally required at least:

30 days before the proposed event.

A separate event licence is required for each event.

17 CAR §225-203

Promoters and specified event participants must comply with Arkansas Athletic Commission licensing requirements.

17 CAR §225-208

Arkansas's combat-sport rules contain specific provisions concerning the technical zone surrounding the competition area.

Where required, a barrier can be imposed between the technical zone and spectator areas.

The promoter's security or authorised personnel are responsible for protecting the zone from unauthorised access.

This is a useful Arkansas example of state regulation directly concerning spectator separation and controlled event zones.

No single general Arkansas State Parks special-event permit regime comparable with the detailed Arizona State Parks festival system was identified during this state review.

State Parks operate facility, reservation and activity-specific requirements, and particular event types can be subject to dedicated regulations, as demonstrated by:

• alcohol events
• historical re-enactments
• and other regulated activities.

Site-specific park requirements should therefore be researched for an actual event, but have not been incorporated here because this reference is restricted to statewide rules.

No single current statewide Arkansas Department of Transportation general Special Event Permit equivalent to the dedicated Alaska or Arizona highway-event systems was identified during this review.

Events affecting a state highway may nevertheless require:

• traffic-management approval
• right-of-way authorisation
• road closures
• Arkansas State Police or local law-enforcement coordination
• and compliance with the Arkansas highway and traffic-control framework.

Those requirements depend upon the proposed road use and location.

The absence of a single general state special-event permit should not therefore be interpreted as permission to use a state highway without authorisation.

No Arkansas state statute equivalent to the specific Alabama or Arizona 2026 ticketed-entertainment-event drone exclusion was identified during this review.

This should be stated carefully.

It does not mean drone operations at an Arkansas event are unrestricted. Applicable federal aviation requirements, landowner restrictions, critical-infrastructure law and other Arkansas provisions may still apply.

Federal drone law is intentionally outside this state-only reference.

Universal Event Licence

Arkansas does not appear to operate one universal permit covering every concert, sports event, parade, festival and community event.

However, qualifying Outdoor Mass Gatherings are regulated extremely comprehensively through Part 137.

Events Below the Part 137 Threshold

The fact that an event does not satisfy the more-than-1,000-person plus 24-hour duration test does not make the event unregulated.

Fire code, food safety, alcohol, amusement rides, pyrotechnics, security, occupational law and local requirements can still apply.

Permanent Stadiums and Arenas

Permanent facilities such as stadiums, arenas and coliseums are specifically excluded from the Outdoor Mass Gathering definition.

These facilities remain subject to other safety, fire, building and licensing arrangements.

Universal Security Ratio

No statewide Arkansas law establishing a single security-officer-to-attendee ratio for every event was identified.

Universal Medical Formula for All Events

Part 137 provides specific ambulance requirements for qualifying outdoor mass gatherings.

No equivalent universal statutory medical-attendance table applying automatically to every smaller or permanent-venue event was identified.

Universal Festival Noise Limit

No single statewide concert/festival noise limit applying identically to every event throughout Arkansas was identified.

Universal State Highway Event Permit

No general Arkansas state highway special-event permit equivalent to Alaska's or Arizona's dedicated systems was identified during the review.
