The bill creates the Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund to provide additional funding for counties using certain state tax revenues.

  • Arkansas Code Title 19, Chapter 27, Subchapter 3

    19-27-348. Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund. (a) There is created on the books of the Treasurer of State, the Auditor of State, and the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State a miscellaneous fund to be known as the “Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund”. (b) The fund shall consist of: (1) Revenues credited to the fund under § 26-52-107; and (2) Any other funds authorized or provided by law. (c)(1) The fund shall be used to provide additional funding for counties as provided in this subsection. (2) Each fiscal year, when the balance of the fund equals one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000), the Treasurer of State shall distribute two million dollars ($2,000,000) to the county treasurer of each county in the state. (3) A county shall use the funds distributed under subdivision (c)(2) of this section each fiscal year as follows: (A) Ninety percent (90%) of the funds distributed to a county each fiscal year shall be used for: (i) Infrastructure projects within the county, including without limitation county roads and infrastructure for water services and sewer services; and (ii) Equipment for the county; and (B) Ten percent (10%) of the funds distributed to a county each fiscal year shall be used to support one (1) or more of the following: (i) A fire department or fire protection district that serves the county; (ii) A law enforcement agency that serves the county; and (iii) A community project that benefits the county.

    This establishes a new fund dedicated to providing additional financial resources to counties for infrastructure and services.

  • Arkansas Code § 26-52-107

    The first one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) in each fiscal year to the credit of the State Apportionment Fund. → The first one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) in each fiscal year to the credit of the Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund;

    This change reallocates the initial $150 million in taxes collected to the new Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund instead of the State Apportionment Fund.
