AI-Generated Summary
Senate Bill 381 seeks to repeal Arkansas Code § 26-5-109, which currently mandates that the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) produce an annual report regarding the activities of the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) and Arkansas's specific involvement in those activities. The bill removes the requirement for the DFA to detail the commission's recommendations or the department's actions on behalf of the state. By repealing this section, the legislation eliminates the statutory obligation for the department to submit these findings to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by September 30 of each year.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?
The primary beneficiary of this bill is the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, which will no longer be required to dedicate staff time and resources to compiling, drafting, and filing the annual report concerning the Multistate Tax Commission.
Who Might Suffer?
The groups most directly and negatively impacted are members of the Arkansas General Assembly, specifically those who utilized these reports to maintain oversight of the state's tax policy coordination with other jurisdictions and to stay informed about the activities and recommendations of the Multistate Tax Commission.
