TO SEPARATE THE OFFICES OF SHERIFF AND TAX COLLECTOR IN POINSETT COUNTY.
HB 1050 (Act 12) separates the offices of sheriff and tax collector in Poinsett County, Arkansas, effective January 1, 2027. The bill requires Poinsett County voters to elect both positions separately in the 2026 general election, with each official taking office on January 1, 2027. It mandates that both officers provide bonds for their duties and receive compensation set by the Poinsett County Quorum Court within state-defined limits. This bill directly affects Poinsett County residents and county government operations by creating two distinct elected roles previously held by one person.
