26-52-601. Legislative findings and intent. (a)(1) In the passage of this subchapter, the General Assembly is cognizant of the inequities faced by cities and towns in this state and their inhabitants when the cities and towns are divided by a state line from an incorporated city or town in another state in which the tax burden of the citizens of the city or town in the adjoining state is substantially less than the tax burden imposed by the laws of this state upon the citizens of a border city or town in this state. (2) The General Assembly is also cognizant that these tax inequities offer inducements to citizens who would otherwise settle in Arkansas and operate businesses in Arkansas to move to the border cities in the adjoining states. (b) The passage of this subchapter is designed to establish a method of equalizing the inequities imposed under the tax laws of this state, thereby offering inducements to persons to establish their homes and businesses in the Arkansas border city or town.
