HB1590

House Bill 1590 proposes the consolidation of the offices of County Treasurer and Tax Collector within Woodruff County, Arkansas. Beginning January 1, 2027, the two positions will be merged into a single office. The bill mandates that voters in Woodruff County will elect one individual to fulfill the responsibilities of both roles during the 2026 general election. The consolidated official will be required to provide a bond for the faithful performance of their duties as required by existing law. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the compensation for the new combined office will be determined by the Woodruff County Quorum Court within state-mandated ranges. The Quorum Court will also maintain authority over hiring deputies and determining other office allowances.
