Arkansas Department of the Military Administrative Citation Process

Every person driving or operating a motor vehicle on a state military reservation shall maintain proper control of the vehicle in a manner consistent with state law, as well as the regulations stated herein. In addition to this general requirement, it is specifically prohibited for any person driving or operating a motor vehicle, motorcycle, or other form of motorized vehicle to:

• Maneuver at a speed or in a manner that, considering the totality of circumstances, is unsafe to the driver/operator or others;
• Pass a pedestrian or bicyclist in such a manner as to endanger the pedestrian or bicyclist;
• Pass a marching or running formation, unless permitted by signage or the leader of the formation; 
• Pass a road guard, unless permitted by the road guard; 
• Use any communication device, such as a cell phone, without the aid of a hands-free device; or
• Fail to use a seatbelt. 
• Fail to wear a helmet, reflective band, and other required equipment while operating a motorcycle or other form of motorized vehicle.
• It is prohibited for any person to park:
  • In any parking place that is marked as reserved for another person, or in such a manner as to restrict access to a parking place that is reserved for another person; 
  • In a place that restricts the flow of traffic along a road or street; 
  • In a fire lane; or
  • In violation of posted rules or policies. 
• It is prohibited for any unauthorized person to enter or unlawfully remain in a restricted area.

Individuals who violate this regulation may be issued an administrative citation under the procedures provided in this regulation and others or according to the applicable laws of the State of Arkansas. The purpose of administrative citations is to ensure the safe and orderly operation of motor vehicles on state military reservations. It is a privilege, not a right, to enter a state military reservation. Similarly, it is a privilege, not a right, to operate a motorized vehicle on a state military reservation. 

The issuance of administrative citations constitutes the lawful exercise of administrative controls over all persons entering state military reservations. The Administrative Citation Process is implemented at Camp Joseph T. Robinson Maneuver Training Center and the Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center which are defined as military reservations in Ark. Code Ann. § 12-63-202-204.

A person who receives an Administrative Citation has the following options: 

1. Unless the face of the citation states otherwise, every person receiving an administrative citation may pay an administrative penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per violation in lieu of appearing before an Administrative Hearing Officer. 
2. Contest the administrative citation at an administrative hearing.

If you receive an Administrative Citation, the violation(s) may be contested and heard before an Administrative Hearing Officer. To request a hearing, you must contact the Administrative Hearing Clerk either in writing or by telephone, within ten (10) calendar days after the date the citation was personally served, stating that you contest the alleged violation(s).
