HB1495

House Bill 1495 amends Arkansas Code § 6-14-111(i) to change the deadline for school districts to submit their proposed rate of tax to the county clerk for inclusion on the ballot in annual school elections. Specifically, the bill extends the submission deadline from sixty days to seventy-two days before the annual school election. This change applies to standard school election cycles. It maintains the existing requirement of eighty-nine days for years in which the President of the United States appears on the ballot. The purpose of this adjustment is to provide additional lead time for the administrative filing process.
