Troy Burdine v. Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration Richard Weiss

Summary

Justice Wills concurred in affirming the circuit court because the parties had not provided a sufficient legal basis for determining whether Missouri or Arkansas law governed the federal disqualification requirement. The concurrence explains that Missouri law may treat an administrative alcohol-related suspension as a disqualifying event, while Arkansas law defines the relevant offense differently and reverses a suspension after dismissal or acquittal. Justice Wills further identified the Arkansas Driver License Compact as potentially controlling but concluded that the appellant had not raised or developed that issue adequately.
