TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR COUNTIES USING CERTAIN STATE TAX REVENUES; AND TO CREATE THE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION COUNTY TURNBACK FUND.

This bill proposes creating a new state fund called the Equal Distribution County Turnback Fund to provide additional money to Arkansas counties. The fund would be financed by taking $150 million from certain state tax revenues each year, which would then be distributed as $2 million to every county. Counties receiving these funds would be required to use 90% for infrastructure projects like roads and water systems, and 10% for fire protection, law enforcement, or community projects. The bill did not pass the Senate before the legislative session ended.
