Dear Representative Saunders:
On August 15, 2008, the Legislative Council passed the following motion:
The Arkansas Legislative Council requests the Senate and House Committees on State Agencies & Governmental Affairs create a special subcommittee to review the current property tax procedure in the state, including reappraisals, and to identify any legislation or constitutional amendments necessary to improve that process. It is further requested that, the Senate and House Committees on State Agencies & Governmental Affairs meet at least once jointly with the Senate and House Committees on Revenue & Tax and the Joint Performance Review Committee to discuss the issues before determining what kind of subcommittee to form.
Please contact me if I may assist you with the creation of the Special Subcommittee on Property Taxes.
Sincerely,
David Ferguson
Executive Secretary
