§ 14-217-102 - Purpose of chapter. - Arkansas Statutes

14-217-102. Purpose of chapter.

(a) It has been found and determined by the General Assembly that:

(1) There exists a great deal of uncertainty and confusion in the laws of this state pertaining to municipal improvement districts created for the construction and operation of consolidated utility systems as defined in 14-217-103;

(2) Some of these districts were created by special acts which can no longer be amended;

(3) The uncertainty and confusion contained in existing laws retards the creation of new districts and the growth and development of existing districts;

(4) This uncertainty and confusion can be corrected only by the enactment of a general law defining and clarifying the functions and powers of such districts.

(b) It is the purpose of this chapter, therefore, to provide a uniform and workable definition of the powers and functions of such districts.
