AN ACT TO SEPARATE THE OFFICES OF SHERIFF AND TAX COLLECTOR IN SEARCY COUNTY.
HB 1137 separates the offices of sheriff and tax collector in Searcy County, Arkansas, effective January 1, 2027. Starting with the 2026 general election, Searcy County voters will elect both a sheriff and a tax collector separately, with each taking office on January 1, 2027. The bill requires each officer to post a bond and receive compensation set by the Searcy County Quorum Court within state-prescribed limits. This change directly affects Searcy County residents through their local elections and county governance structure.
