TO COMBINE THE OFFICES OF TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR IN WOODRUFF COUNTY.

HB 1590 merges Woodruff County’s treasurer and tax collector positions into a single elected office, effective January 1, 2027. Voters in Woodruff County will elect one official to serve both roles in the 2026 general election, with the winner taking office on the effective date. The bill specifies that the combined officeholder must provide a bond, receive county-court-determined compensation within state-set limits, and manage county financial duties as outlined in existing law. This change directly affects Woodruff County residents and its elected county official, streamlining a local government role without altering tax policies or revenue collection procedures.
