TO AUTHORIZE THE INTRODUCTION OF A NONAPPROPRIATION BILL CONCERNING THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITIES EXPANSION ACT.

This bill is a procedural measure that authorizes a senator to introduce legislation amending Arkansas laws governing Industrial Development Authorities. The proposed changes would require board members to live within the municipality or county they represent and allow local governments to remove board members for good cause with a two-thirds vote. Additionally, the bill clarifies that these authorities must follow local zoning and planning rules and repeals their ability to use eminent domain for property acquisition. Because this specific text only grants permission to introduce further legislation rather than enacting policy itself, it does not directly alter the powers of industrial development authorities or affect the public.
