AI-Generated Summary

House Bill 1785 amends Arkansas Code § 19-8-106 regarding the composition of county depository boards. The bill clarifies the membership of these boards, which are established by quorum court ordinance. It specifies that the board consists of the county judge, the county treasurer, and the county collector (or the sheriff when acting as the ex officio tax collector). Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for situations where the offices of county treasurer and county collector are combined by law. In such cases, the quorum court must pass an ordinance to select a third member from the remaining elected county constitutional officers to serve on the board.

Potential Impact Analysis

Who Might Benefit?

County governments and their respective quorum courts benefit from this bill as it provides clearer statutory guidance on board composition and appointment procedures, particularly in counties where the offices of treasurer and collector have been consolidated.

Who Might Suffer?

There are no primary groups that would be directly and negatively impacted by this legislation, as it serves as a procedural update to administrative governance structures rather than a shift in policy or budgetary authority.
