The bill amends existing laws regarding levee districts in Arkansas, specifically focusing on the Crawford County Levee District. It removes the requirement for the Sheriff of Crawford County to act as the collector of levee taxes and outlines a new procedure for the collection of assessments. The bill stipulates that the taxes for assessments levied by a levee district created by an act of the General Assembly will be extended on the county tax books based on a certified list provided by the levee district. The county collector will then collect these taxes in the same manner as other property taxes.
Additionally, the bill establishes that the collected funds will be deposited with the county treasurer on a monthly basis, and the treasurer will ensure proper distribution to the levee district fund. This new framework aims to streamline the collection process and enhance the efficiency of tax collection for levee districts, thereby improving financial management and accountability within these districts.
