Insurance Tax Ruled Invalid in Arkansas
Pur laski Chancellor Murray O Reed ruled that Act 537 raising state taxes on out-of-state insurance premiums by 0.5 percent is unconstitutional. He said the measure required a three-fourths vote in both chambers. Senate approval existed but House fell short with 61 of 100 votes. The ruling keeps the old tax rate for out-of-state companies with half reserves in Arkansas.
