TO AMEND THE PROVISIONS REGARDING DELINQUENT PAYMENTS BY A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION UNDER THE ARKANSAS LOCAL POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
HB 1119 shortens the deadline for political subdivisions (like cities and counties) to pay into the Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System from 10 to 5 days after the due date. If payments are late, the state treasurer must withhold all state funds owed to the subdivision until the debt and interest are paid. The bill also transfers administration of these payments from the retirement system to the Department of Finance and Administration, effective July 1, 2025, to improve financial management.
