2-36-101. Grading of fairs.

(a) The Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission shall be empowered to formulate necessary and appropriate rules and regulations for the grading of fairs on a point system in cooperation with an ad hoc advisory committee formed of representatives of agriculture consisting of representatives from the United States Department of Agriculture, University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, the Office of Agricultural Science and Technology of the Department of Workforce Education, and the Arkansas Fair Managers Association, which shall make recommendations as to criteria for the allotment of grade points to the commission.

(b) The advisory committee shall determine the entry classifications for which grade points would be allowed and delete from approval such classifications as beauty contests, baby shows, antique shows, skills contests, purchased machinery such as cars and farm equipment, or other noncreative categories which in their opinion would be nonproductive and not in accord with the concept of an agricultural and industrial convention.
