TO AMEND THE LAWS CONCERNING THE MANAGEMENT OF PREMIUM TAXES UNDER THE ARKANSAS FIRE AND POLICE PENSION REVIEW BOARD; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
HB 1118 is a technical correction to Arkansas law regarding the Arkansas Fire and Police Pension Review Board's management of premium taxes. It amends a single line in the statute to clarify that the Board "may" manage these taxes (correcting a grammatical error in the original text). The bill does not change pension benefits, tax rates, or eligibility for firefighters and police officers. It was passed quickly as a procedural amendment and became Act 151 on February 25, 2025.
