SB219

Senate Bill 219 seeks to repeal the sunset provision associated with the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Special Privilege Tax Act of 2017. Currently, the law mandates that this special privilege tax expires on July 1, 2025, unless further legislative action is taken. This bill removes that expiration date entirely, ensuring that the tax remains in effect indefinitely. The bill also includes an emergency clause, declaring that the immediate passage of this legislation is necessary for the continuous and efficient administration of the state's tax laws regarding medical marijuana. Consequently, the act is intended to take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval or once the legislative process is complete.
