AR HB1743

Repeals uncodified sections 18-20 of Act 14 of 1881 (Clay County), sections 19-21 of Act 61 of 1883 (Craighead County), sections 19-21 of Act 51 of 1885 (Franklin County), sections 22-24 of Act 133 of 1885 (Prairie County), section 18 of Act 100 of 1875 (Yell County), sections 20-21 of Act 5 of 1901 (Logan County), and sections 19-21 of Act 81 of 1901 (Mississippi County).

These repealed provisions required counties with dual judicial districts to maintain separate financial records for each district and allocate revenues exclusively to the district where they were collected.

Amends Arkansas Code § 14-14-114 to require counties with more than one judicial district (created in 1883) to enact an ordinance allocating all revenues for the entire county as determined by the quorum court, rather than dividing revenues by judicial district.

Declares an emergency due to misinterpretation of uncodified acts by courts and the need to prevent litigation over varying interpretations.

Takes effect upon Governor's approval, or if neither approved nor vetoed, at expiration of veto period, or if vetoed and overridden, on the date of override.
