A.C.R.C. Notes. Identical Acts 2008 (1st Ex. Sess.), Nos. 4 and 5, § 1, provided: “Legislative findings and intent.
“(a) The General Assembly has determined that the severance tax rate on natural gas should be increased and that there should be different rates of tax for different categories of natural gas.
“(b) Amendment 19 of the Arkansas Constitution required this act to be passed by at least three-fourths of the members of the Senate and at least three-fourths of the members of the House of Representatives.
“(c) In order to implement the increase in the severance tax rate, the General Assembly has identified the following four categories of natural gas, each as defined in Arkansas Code § 26-58-101:
“(1) High-cost gas;
“(2) Marginal gas;
“(3) New discovery gas; and
“(4) All natural gas that is not defined as high-cost gas, marginal gas, or new discovery gas.
“(d) To increase the severance tax rate, the General Assembly used the method of levying a specific tax rate on each category so that any future legislative enactment that would have the effect of increasing the rate of severance tax on any of those categories of natural gas as defined by § 26-58-101 will also be subject to the three-fourths vote requirement of Amendment 19 of the Arkansas Constitution.”
Identical Acts 2014, Nos. 290 and 299, § 1, provided: “The purpose of this act is to amend the Revenue Stabilization Law.”
Identical Acts 2014, Nos. 290 and 299, § 14, provided: “DUPLICATE ACTS.

Acts 2015, No. 862, § 1, provided: “Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that:
“(1) Arkansas is one (1) of the leading producers of steel in the United States, and Mississippi County, Arkansas, is ranked as one (1) of the top (2) highest steel-producing counties in the United States;
“(2) The steel industry in the United States is highly competitive, and there are presently rising prices and a high level of demand for raw materials in the domestic market;
“(3) The five-year global recession that began in 2008 and current economic conditions in the steel industry are continuing to substantially affect the profitability of many Arkansas companies and to reduce the ability of Arkansas steel producers to utilize existing incentive programs that are intended to encourage capital investment in this state;
“(4) In order to protect and preserve Arkansas jobs and encourage continuing capital investment by steel producers in this state, adjustments in the Arkansas recycling tax credit are appropriate to allow the tax credit to be utilized more fully to accomplish the purposes for which the tax credit is intended;
“(5) The recycling tax credit is of significant importance to qualified manufacturers of steel and the State of Arkansas, and adjustments to the recycling tax credit will ensure its longevity to benefit the state and economic development within the state when a public retirement system is an investor;
“(6) In order to protect and preserve Arkansas jobs and encourage continuing capital investment by steel producers in this state, adjustments in the retention tax credit under the Consolidated Incentive Act of 2003, § 15-4-2701 et seq., are appropriate to allow the credit to be utilized more fully to accomplish the purposes for which the credit is intended; and
“(7) The standards for the gross receipts tax exemption for repair and replacement of machinery and equipment require clarification for qualified manufacturers of steel to ensure continuing capital investment by steel producers and to protect and preserve Arkansas jobs.”
Acts 2015, No. 895, § 1, provided: “Legislative intent. It is the intent of the General Assembly to implement wide-ranging reforms to the criminal justice system in order to address prison overcrowding, promote seamless reentry into society, reduce medical costs incurred by the state and local governments, aid law enforcement agencies in fighting crime and keeping the peace, and to enhance public safety.”

“(1) Continue until the final quarterly disbursements for the last calendar year quarter of 2017 are processed; and
“(2) Be funded based on the moneys allocated and available at the end of each calendar quarter from the Used Tire Recycling Fund under § 19-5-1147(c)(1) [§ 19-5-1148(c)(1)] using the distribution formula in effect on January 1, 2017, until the final quarterly distribution is made based on moneys allocated and available in the Used Tire Recycling Fund under § 19-5-1147(c)(1) [§ 19-5-1148(c)(1)] on December 31, 2017.

Acts 2017, No. 532, § 1, provided: “Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that:
“(1) The Department of Finance and Administration currently lacks clear authority and specific funding sources to adequately upgrade and modernize the registration process for commercial motor vehicles;
“(2) Due to current inefficiencies or technological limitations, commercial motor carriers that would otherwise register their commercial vehicles in the State of Arkansas are deterred from doing so;
“(3) The department should develop and implement rules, regulations, and procedures to facilitate an online system for administrative transactions and the registration of commercial motor vehicles that are registered with the International Registration Plan;
“(4) The law needs to be clarified to verify that license plates for commercial motor vehicles registered with the International Registration Plan should not be required to display an annual decal or tab;
“(5) An enhancement creating an online system for administrative transactions and registration of commercial motor vehicles will facilitate and improve the services available to the commercial motor carrier industry;
“(6) Enhancements to the Arkansas Motor Carrier System will make available to the state additional revenues through a user-fee based system to finance the enhancements without requiring a general tax increase; and
“(7) Directing the department to develop rules, regulations, and procedures to implement the necessary enhancements and providing a funding mechanism to help offset the costs associated with the system enhancements will accomplish the state's goal of improving services and modernizing the Arkansas Motor Carrier System.”
