AI-Generated Summary
House Bill 1807 proposes an amendment to Arkansas state law concerning the allocation of revenue derived from solid waste management fees. Specifically, the bill increases the annual funding transferred from these fees into the Crime Information System Fund. The amount allocated for the scrap metal logbook program is raised from $150,000 to $190,000 per fiscal year. This change is implemented through modifications to both the Solid Waste Management and Recycling Fund Act and the statutes governing the Crime Information System Fund. The legislation serves to redirect a larger portion of existing fee-based revenue toward state-level criminal information tracking efforts.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?
The primary beneficiaries are state law enforcement and public safety agencies that manage the Crime Information System Fund and the scrap metal logbook program. These entities will receive increased funding to support the tracking and regulation of scrap metal transactions, which is intended to help prevent and investigate the theft of scrap metal.
Who Might Suffer?
Regional solid waste management boards may be negatively impacted, as the increase in funds diverted to the Crime Information System Fund effectively reduces the total pool of revenue from solid waste management fees that would otherwise be distributed to these local boards for their respective operations and programs.
