400 New Acts Put in Law Books by 1939 Legislature
In Arkansas the 1939 legislature enacted over 400 new laws, most with local or administrative impact, few broad statewide effects and no new tax. The package tightens tax collection, boosts fees and licenses, expands regulatory authority, and increases municipal powers while maintaining no universal tax. Major items include extending the two percent sales tax and raising driver license and beverage taxes, plus reforms in property and income taxes, business fees, and cooperative farming powers.
