HB 1121 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO REPEAL THE LAW CONCERNING THE TRANSFER OF TAX-FORFEITED LANDS TO STATE INSTITUTIONS.

HB 1121 repeals a law that allowed the transfer of tax-forfeited lands (properties where taxes were unpaid and seized by the government) to state institutions like universities or hospitals. It removes the legal mechanism for these land transfers, meaning state institutions can no longer receive such properties through this specific process. The bill directly affects state institutions that previously had access to tax-forfeited lands under the repealed law. This repeal became effective as Act 211 on February 27, 2025.
