The bill amends the Arkansas Code to establish that municipalities are prohibited from enforcing their building and zoning regulations on county-owned property that is used for a public purpose and located within the municipality's corporate limits. This new provision, designated as section 14-56-105, clarifies that such county properties must adhere to the building and zoning regulations set forth by the county itself, rather than those of the municipality.
This legislative change aims to delineate the regulatory authority between municipalities and counties, ensuring that county-owned properties used for public purposes are governed by county regulations, even when situated within municipal boundaries. The bill seeks to prevent potential conflicts and confusion regarding jurisdiction over building and zoning matters related to county properties.
