Fiscal Impact Statement
Bill: SB386
Bill Subtitle: TO REPEAL THE LAW REQUIRING THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT A REPORT CONCERNING CHANGES MADE IN
FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sponsors:
Sen. Crowell and Rep. Cavenaugh
Basic Change:
SB386 repeals the requirement that the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) submit an
annual report to the House and Senate Committees on Revenue and Taxation regarding changes in
federal tax laws and regulations.
The federal tax code consists of thousands of pages, the majority of which has not been adopted by
Arkansas. The requirement that DFA annually summarize changes in federal tax laws was enacted in
1989. SB386 would repeal the requirement that DFA prepare and submit the annual report.
DFA would still be required to monitor changes in federal income tax laws to determine how the
changes may affect Arkansas income tax law and for the purpose of determining how the changes
differ from provisions adopted for Arkansas income tax purposes.
