The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code 22-6-501, which governs the transfer of tax-forfeited lands to state institutions. This section previously allowed the Commissioner of State Lands to issue deeds for tax-forfeited land to various state departments, agencies, and local governmental units upon application. The application process included requirements for the proposed use of the land, its duration, and the designated department for maintenance. Additionally, the section outlined conditions for the reversion of the property to the state if it was no longer utilized as intended.

By repealing this law, the bill eliminates the entire framework for transferring tax-forfeited lands to state institutions, including the associated application process and conditions for use and reversion. This change signifies a shift in how tax-forfeited lands may be managed and disposed of in the future, potentially impacting state institutions and local governments that previously relied on this mechanism for acquiring land.
