The state officially approved the Sheep Dog Impact Assistance license decal. It has been a long and draining road to get this recognition but knowing we can finally support our veterans and first responders makes every bit of the struggle worth it.

Signatures included will be a part of our application to the Arkansas Dept of Motor Vehicles to offer a Sheep Dog Impact Assistance Special Interest License Decal. The special license plate decal will be placed on a standard issue Arkansas license plate across the bottom of the plate in lieu of the legend "The Natural State". 100% of the proceeds from the fund raising fee will go to helping the men and women of our military, law enforcement, fire & rescue and EMT communities. A group of people we call "Sheep Dogs". SDIA is recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 non-profit organization.


The application text reads:

I the undersigned verify the following:

- I am a resident of the state of Arkansas

- I am the owner of one (1) or more vehicles. Unless prevented from doing so because of circumstances beyond my control, I will register at least one (1) vehicle I own with the special license plate named above, if such plates are approved by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Adminstration.

- I am aware that, in addition in the regular annual registration fee for the vehicle and an adminstrative and handling fee of $10.00, there may be an additional fund raising fee not to exceed $25.00.

- I am aware that the Office of Motor Vehicles must receive a minimum of 300 signatures, $3,000, or a combination thereof, before the special plate can be ordered or issued; I am aware that, under A.C.A. 27-14-303, the penalty for making a false statement on a vehicle application, concealing a material fact, or otherwise committing a fraud in any motor vehicle application, upon conviction, is punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for not more than one (1) year or both.


Our federal IEN number is 26-4521779, issued 6/22/2010.

The bureaucratic process is moving slowly and it often feels like we are just shouting into a void. I am still here pushing the paperwork forward because these men and women deserve the support this decal will provide.
