Opinion No. ( 1986 )

Honorable Grady Arrington State Representative Post Office Box 65 Stephens, Arkansas 71764

Dear Representative Arrington:

This is in response to your inquiry whereby you submitted the following:

My question is: If the Quorum Court of Ouachita County legally raise the millage back to the 5 millage on both real property and personal property should it so desire?

The answer to your question is yes. If the Quorum Court does not raise the millage back to 5 Mills then the time specified in Ark. Stat. Ann. 13-523(3) (1985 Supp.) the County will lose a portion of its turnback funds.

I enclose a copy of Opinion No. 86-7 for your inspection.

The foregoing opinion, which I hereby approve, was prepared by Chief Deputy Attorney General Rodney Parham.
