We'll call the Senate Revenue and Tax Meeting to order. We have one bill on the agenda. Senator Dismay, are you ready to present? It'll be Senate

to meet this afternoon and also work through this process. Members, Senate Bill 1 is a continuation of the, you know, the progress that we've already made in relation to lowering our state's income tax rate. This process actually started all the way back in 2013, and because of what we've done through conservative budgeting and also our willingness to save, we've been able to dramatically increase our income tax rate since 2013. Currently, we've gone from 7% and then this bill will take us to 3.7%.
The bill itself, I think most of you are familiar, but it's going to go retroactive so that we can utilize some of the surplus that we've already created. So it'll be January 1st, 2026 for the personal income tax. And then the corporate income tax won't take effect until next January. With that, I'd be happy to take any questions. We can talk about the impact

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Senator Desmond, could you give us an idea of how much tax savings we have had
Senator Jonathan Dismang

1:32
up to this point in time? - I went back and looked at that. It's funny that you brought this up and I didn't double check my calculations, but I just wanted to look at someone that was making $65,000 a year. What has their change been? And

again, I wasn't planning on making this part of

my presentation. - Sorry, I didn't mean to get you off guard. I just was excited. - No, no, it was a thought I had also had. But again, they can double check this at DFA, But someone making $65,000 back in 2013 would have had a tax liability of $3,638 roughly.
And, again, there may be some adjustments you make for increases in standard deduction, the credit, that sort of thing. But let's just say rough net taxable would be or tax rate would have been $3,600. That same person today making $65,000 tax rate would be just above $2,000. Thank you. Just, again, ballpark, someone else can verify that math, but that's, I was curious about the same thing. Any other questions from the committee? Okay, we're showing that

thank you for the opportunity to speak here today and i thank you for your service this fiscal session. I'm here as a tax-paying resident, a clergy person in the United Methodist Church, a social worker, and someone who cares deeply about the future of Arkansas. In each of these roles, I am guided by a shared value, that we are responsible for one another. In my faith tradition, we are called to care for our neighbors, to prioritize the well-being of
the most vulnerable, and to build communities where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. It's from that place that I respectfully urge you to reject additional tax cuts at this time and instead prioritize critical programs that Arkansans depend on every day. And I'll tell you this, this is not an abstract issue for me. As a pastor and social worker serving our downtown Little Rock unhoused and low-income neighbors, I see every day how fragile stability can be
and how essential state-funded resources are. Crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, health care access, and supportive services are often the difference between someone falling deeper into crisis and someone finding a path forward. These programs reflect our shared commitment to care for one another, and they require consistent, reliable funding. I'll also tell you that it's not abstract because I see this through my own family.
My husband is a second-grade teacher in the Arkansas public school system. Every day, he works with students full of promise who need resources, attention, and support to succeed. When education funding falls short, it's not just a budget issue. It shows up in crowded classrooms, limited materials, and increased strain on teachers. Investing in education at its core is an investment in the dignity and future of our children.
Like many Arkansans, I understand the appeal of lower taxes. As a family of six, we feel that reality as well. But we also rely on the services that those taxes make possible. our public schools, our health care, infrastructure, and public safety. These are not luxuries. They are the foundation of a strong community. From a faith perspective, stewardship is not simply about reducing what we give.
It's about wisely and faithfully how we use what we have to serve the common good. Continued tax cuts reduce the revenue available to meet basic needs and invest in our future. and that has real consequences for real people. We must also consider who benefits the most from these. Broad tax cuts often provide the greatest benefit to those with the highest income, while working families see only modest relief.
Yet those same families are the ones who are most affected when essential services are underfunded. A just and equitable system is one that considers both impact and responsibility. Right now, Arkansas has critical needs that require our attention and our investment. We need to strengthen public education, expand access to housing and support services, ensure robust health care systems, and provide reliable services for our seniors,
for veterans and working families. These are not only policy priorities. They're moral ones. And this is a moment to strengthen Arkansas, not scale back. By maintaining the revenue necessary to fully fund essential services, you have the opportunity to build a state where all communities, not just the most affluent, can thrive. So I respectfully ask you to choose the path that reflects our shared responsibility to one another,
that invests in the common good, and that ensures every Arkansan has the opportunity to live with dignity and stability. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Do you want to take

Good afternoon, Chair Hickey, members of the committee. My name is Missy Wyatt-Joyce. My husband, Jeb, and I live in Fayetteville, and we have two children that are no longer children. I was born and raised in Fort Smith. My dad was a basketball coach at what used to be Westark Community College. I want to introduce you to our oldest, Hunter Joyce. Hunter was due in November of 2001, but he arrived in August. He was born 14 weeks premature, and he weighed 2 pounds, 3 ounces.
We like to say he didn't want to miss football season. He arrived home from his 10-week stay in the NICU Baptist at Little Rock, just in time to witness Arkansas' seven-time overtime victory over Ole Miss, and he's been a Razorback ever since. While in the NICU, Hunter's team of neonatologists discovered that he had paraventricular leukomalacia, which is a brain injury that affects the white matter and the nerve pathways that carry signals to other parts of our bodies. When he was two years old, he was diagnosed with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy,
meaning all of Hunter's limbs are affected. He uses a power wheelchair to navigate his home and his community, and he is 100% physically dependent on others for every aspect of his daily life. He relies on another person to help him out of bed, to transfer to his shower chair, to use the restroom, to take a shower, to transfer back to his bed, to get dressed, to eat, to drink, to use a napkin, to take his meds, to brush his teeth,
to access his modified van, to drive him where he needs to go, and access those places when he gets there. He relies on other people to provide maximum physical support for anything he needs to do. Hunter wanted to be here today to tell you his own story. However, he has a law school final tomorrow in Wills Trust and Estates and one on Thursday in Employment Discrimination. Although he is absolutely physically dependent on others, Hunter graduated from the University of Arkansas Phi Beta Kappa
with a degree in political science and a minor in history in 2024. He was accepted to law school and is wrapping up his 2L year this week with his last two finals, and he's on track to graduate in May. Hunter's disability, though significant, has not prevented him from living his best life and achieving some remarkable outcomes. At the same time, Hunter, as determined and resolute as he is, would not be able to achieve these outcomes or live his best life without the constant physical supports he needs
that are provided through home and community-based services and, most importantly, supported living. Hunter cannot live the life he is choosing in a residential or institutional setting. But for years, we as a state have starved supported living to the point that the 2025 rate study shows it is 23% underfunded, 23%. Hunter, throughout undergrad and law school, has endured constant turnover and chaos in his support staff because it is impossible to maintain stability at the current reimbursement rates.
He has never had DSPs that have not worked overtime, which only deepens the deficit of his nonprofit provider because passes will not reimburse for overtime. He is a supported living nonprofit provider, operated in an $8 million deficit in 2025. $8 million deficit. It is simply not sustainable. It is time to fund supported living services for all the hunters.
And I hope you will choose to do so before you choose to cut any more taxes. The hunters need it far more than the individuals, trust, states, and corporations your tax cuts are targeting. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you, Ms. Joyce.

Okay, the next is going to be Anna Marchetti. Did I say that correctly? Close. You're with the Arkansas apple seed. Same way, just push
Ana Morshetti
Unverified
13:40
the button and you can begin. five minutes. Perfect. Thank you so much. Good afternoon. My name is Ana Morshetti, and I'm a policy director for Arkansas Appleseed Legal Justice Center. We're a non-profit advocacy
organization that works hard for strong schools and good government, and thank you so much for giving me the time to speak today. Our organization's mission is to make Arkansas a better place to live and work, and that's a broad mission, and that's intentionally so because we know that the progress needed in Arkansas is broad, from health outcomes to learning outcomes to life expectancy to quality of life. Arkansas is at the bottom of some lists that none of us want to be at the bottom of.
We do our work because we believe that good state government, the work done in this building by you, the elected stewards of the people's money, is one of the best tools we have for climbing to the top of those lists. We believe nobody but the Arkansas state government has the resources necessary for keeping failing hospitals from closing. We believe nobody but the Arkansas state government has the resources necessary for fully funding our state's public schools. Nobody but the Arkansas
state government has the resources necessary for ensuring that every child in Arkansas can access quality early childhood education and pre-K. And nobody but the Arkansas state government can rebuild roads and bridges, expand broadband access, or grow our state's health care infrastructure. That's why we are asking you to vote no on this new set of tax cuts. Given our state's condition and the investments required to improve outcomes here, we simply can't afford
to cut spending. We recently released a report that found in order for Arkansas's public education spending to match the national average, we'd need to increase our per-student spending by 30%. We spend $4,000 less per student than the national average. We spend $1,500 less per student than Alabama, $2,000 less per student than Louisiana, $3,000 less per student than Missouri, and $4,000 less per student than South Carolina.
In order to merely catch up to our peer states and public education spending, we need to be spending at minimum $674 million more each year. Now, I'm certainly not here to ask you to write a check for that today. We're here to ask you to consider whether we can afford a $180 million tax cut while our regional peer states are pulling out ahead of us in both public education and public education outcomes.
3,000 Arkansas children currently sit on the wait list for quality early childhood education in Arkansas, we could clear that wait list today with an investment of roughly $15 million. Universal access to quality pre-K would cost the state roughly $300 million. Again, we are certainly not asking you to write a check for that today. We're here to ask you to consider whether we can afford a $180 million tax cut with a backlog of families who need access to quality early learning.
Last week, the legislature approved an education budget that features roughly $380 million in spending for private school vouchers. Available data indicates that 80% of that spending, or $300 million, will go to families whose children were already enrolled in private schools prior to their receiving a voucher. Our state's private school voucher spending now makes up 6% of our state's budget, and some lawmakers have indicated their intention to continue growing the Education Freedom Account program.
We're here to ask you to consider whether we can afford a $180 million tax cut given the stated intention to grow the EFA expenditures year to year. Over the last decade, this body has cut the state's income tax. Over the last decade, this body has cut the state's income tax rate by roughly 40% to historic lows. We like low taxes just like anybody else, but we're asking you to vote no on yet another tax cut.
We shouldn't be competing with neighboring states for the lowest tax rate. We should be competing with neighboring states for the best learning, health, and life outcomes in the South. And winning those far more important contests is going to require investments we can't afford if Arkansas keeps cutting revenue. Thank you for your time. All

If you'll just introduce yourself and you'll
Speaker 55
19:04
be recognized. Thank you. Pete Guess, I am the Economic Policy Director at Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. Good afternoon, Chairman Hickey and members of the committee. Thank you very much for this opportunity to speak against SB1. There are several reasons that individual and corporate income tax cuts should not be
reduced at this time. Sorry, cuts should not be made at this time. We are experiencing a perfect storm of economic pressure on the state budget. Inflation stands at 3.3%, making it more expensive for the state to do business. The percent of jobless Arkansans is growing, currently above the national average. The federal government is placing new demands on state budgets, notably in the food, assistance, and health care sectors. As you know well, Arkansas will have to spend an additional $18 million to run the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the coming year,
an amount that could reach $80 million a year very soon. President Trump has also said he expects states to spend more state dollars in such policy arenas as housing, disaster recovery, and early childhood education. Further, some of our state policy decisions are expensive. Based on the growth in applications, education freedom accounts may top $400 million this coming year. The pay plan that you passed last year will continue to require investments.
Additionally, we know Arkansans have pressing needs. I know you are worried that some of our rural and not-so-rural hospitals are closing or shedding important departments. Many more are unable to balance their budgets. Federal decisions will only exacerbate the pressure on hospitals, and the Rural Hospital Transformation Fund only makes up 5% of the expected Medicaid cuts nationwide. As you just heard from our friends at Arkansas Appleseed, the state is funding our K-12 education at per-pupil levels that is $4,000 below the national average, and we trail our southern peers as well.
The child care crisis is costing the state of Arkansas nearly $800 million a year and lost earnings, productivity, and revenue. I've heard many of our lawmakers express concerns about how we are caring for seniors, especially as programs that feed the elderly lose the federal grants that have sustained these programs. Families feel more strained as housing, transportation, and food become less affordable. I'm sure you have heard from your constituents about these and other needs. More than half a million Arkansas households either cannot cover basic needs or fully live in poverty.
And it is those very Arkansans who will not see a substantial benefit from the tax cut. As the DF&A fiscal notes indicates, more than 20% of earners in Arkansas will see zero benefit. Those that make between $74,000 and $99,000 will only receive a $77 tax benefit, less than a quarter a day. These amounts will not help families struggling to afford groceries or gas. In fact, the 80-20 rule applies here. the top 20% of earners will receive 80% of the tax benefit.
I'll add that state spending is not out of control. In fiscal year 2025, Arkansas ranked 31st of 50 states in expenditures per person. Subtracting federal dollars, Arkansas ranks 27th. We are below the national median in state government expenditures. If you ask Arkansans if they want a tax cut, of course they will say yes. After all, who doesn't? But when you make the link between taxes and governmental services, answers change. We just completed a statewide scientific poll of registered Arkansas voters in partnership with Change Research.
63% of voters prefer to maintain the current income tax rates in order to invest in programs and services. And what do they say they want? Better health care, better K-12 education, reducing childhood hunger, and reducing poverty. This priority list is the same across political affiliation and income levels. Income tax contributes nearly 50% of our general revenue, but it also enhances both empowerment and freedom for the people of Arkansas. Before we had a federal income tax, many of our senior citizens worked until death.
Social Security changed that, freeing our older citizens to participate in civic and social life, strengthening our communities. At the state level, income tax provides for schools. it is difficult to come up with a better example of a public good that empowers our young people to live fulfilling lives. There is a long list of the ways state government positively affects the lives of residents, such as public health, public safety, good roads, and services for our youngest and oldest community members. There is also a list of important needs. I ask that you,
like your constituents, prioritize investments in public service over income tax cuts. Thank you. happy to take questions. Thank you, Mr. Gass. Anyone have any questions? We appreciate you being here. Thank

Speaker 45
24:27
last name. Pedro. Okay, you're with the Arkansas Coalition for Marshallese, correct?
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
24:38
Just push the red button and you'll
Speaker 58
24:53
be recognized. Hello. You can begin. Thank you for your time. My name is Michelle Pedro, and I'm a resident of Springdale, Arkansas. I work for the nonprofit Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese, and I'm here today to tell you about me.
I'm a single mother, but I'm also here to talk about, I'm also here as a witness to the quiet, desperate struggles happening, to the quiet, desperate struggles happening in our neighborhoods every single day. I want to be clear about who I am. I'm a mother first. Even though I'm a single mother, I'm a hard-working mother.
I didn't choose to be single. It was out of my hands. Even though I'm struggling and I'm a hard-working mom, I'm doing okay, for now. I work hard to provide for my children, yet I know the sinking feeling of looking at a grocery receipt and realizing it costs twice as much to buy half as much. I know what it's like to choose which utility bills that gets paid so that my children get to eat.
But my testimony isn't about my own kitchen table. My life is spent helping families who are in positions far more dire than my own. And that's the Marshallese community in NWA and all around Arkansas. I help a lot of elderly people. I help people like you and me. It's just who I am. In my community, I sit with grandfathers and grandmothers who can't afford a simple doctor's visit or medication.
I talk to people who are literally getting sicker because navigating the red tape isn't as simple as it used to be or as it seems. Right now, nearly one in three Arkansans don't know where the next meal is coming from. Our state currently holds the heartbreaking title of having the highest food insecurity rate in the country.
These are not statistics. These are our people. I understand the appeal of tax cuts. Everyone wants more dollars in their pocket. But a tax cut of a few dollars in a month does nothing for the family that just lost their Medicaid coverage. It doesn't help the senior citizens who is homebound and hungry because our community programs are underfunded.
When we prioritize further tax cuts over funding our essential services, we are choosing a temporary superficial benefit over the survival of our most vulnerable citizens. We are essentially telling the sick and the elderly that their health and dignity are less important. that their dignity and their health are less important than a line item in a budget.
Please don't look at these services or these programs as handouts, but please look at them as essential services, investments. When we invest in health care and food security, we know we are investing in the workforce that is healthy enough to work and take care of their families, take care of their children, so that they can go to school and not worry about being hungry.
Please don't cut out the lifeline that so many Arkansans are clinging to. Please prioritize the funding of our health care services, our health care systems, and food assistance programs. Let's make Arkansas a state known not for its hunger, 30 seconds, but for how fiercely we look after our own and one another. Thank you for your time. Yes, ma'am. Any questions?
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr

29:42
We appreciate you coming and speaking. Thank you, ma'am. Okay, that's all I had
Chair (Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr)
Unverified
29:49
on the list. Anybody else in the audience want to come forward to speak for or against? Okay, seeing none, Senator Desmang, do you want to close
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
29:57
for your bill? Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Members, just a couple of things I want to talk about quickly. That was a 45% decrease in the effective tax rate for someone making $65,000. So 45% decrease. And again, DFA can double check those numbers, but I think it's going to be in ballpark.
One thing I want to say, and I appreciate the testimony that we just had, there are a couple of things that I just don't want to go unsaid. Number one, we are committed to public education in the state of Arkansas. You see that by the increases that we routinely have in public education or per pupil funding. We are dedicated to making sure that we properly pay our state employees by complete revamping of the pay system here in the state. We are committed to fighting food insecurity. You've seen it repeatedly in the last few sessions.
And what I would like to say is it is quite possible to be both compassionate and competitive. But I think we need to be both. We can't be just one or the other. There is no cut in services based on this tax cut. In fact, we're operating with a surplus right now, and what this is projected to do is absorb some of that surplus that we're operating with. Again, no essential services are being cut by what we're doing here today. But again, I appreciate the testimony.
I think it's helpful. We do need to set our priorities in the state, and I think voices need to be heard as we do that. But this is not that. Members,
Speaker 10
31:21
with that, I'd appreciate a good vote and thank you for your time this afternoon. Do we have any, do we
Chair (Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr)
Unverified
31:28
have a motion? All right, after this. Senator Disbank made the motion. Senator Petty is the second. Do we have a discussion on the motion? Senator Petty,
Senator Jim Petty
Unverified
31:40
you're recognized. So I'm glad you said some of the things
that I wanted to bring out. I too, and I think every member of the committee here sees your passion, sees your desire. And I'm glad to hear Senator Dispain bring up that there are no services being cut. The need is great, there's no doubt. But that need is and has always been met first and foremost to the clergy. I think it's incumbent upon us as individuals, as Christians,
that we give, and we give freely, and so I think locally, as an individual, we need that to meet these needs. I think we also see that at the local level, the local government. A lot of what we talk about is generated locally. Some of the tax, a significant portion of the taxes that are used to fund public education originates in the real estate taxes locally, and of course the state has a role, but a lot of these services that we've talked about today
are in funded in great part by federal programs, not what we're talking about here. And so I think to Senator Dismaine's point, we've got to find that balance where we can grow. We've cut taxes every year for a number of years and, well, not every year, But we've cut taxes regularly, and yet we continue to generate more revenue, so the base grows.
And so finding that balance between funding essential services at the level that needs to be and then also creating an environment that allows us to be competitive, I think, is what we try to do. I think there's not a single person here in the legislature that doesn't care for what the things that you talked about today. It's up to us to find that balance, and that's what we're trying to do here in keeping that competitive environment.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for what you do and want to encourage you to continue to do so, and thank you for sharing today. Okay.
Speaker 64
34:01
Any other questions or discussion on the motion,
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
34:04
Senator Dismayne? Just one thing I should have said earlier. I mentioned that we started this in 2013. It was the priority of this legislative body, even more so than the administration at the time, that we prioritized lowering the rates for the lower-income tables for Arkansas.
And so that's what we did. And so, again, this is a continuation. It's a multi-year thing that we've done. but we prioritized the lower income tables first and then we came back with that in simplification was also important, which impacted the lower tables in Arkansas. Just something we need to point out in a bigger context. Sometimes you forget that this is something we've been doing for over a decade at this point in focusing on the individual income tax rate. Senator Boyd, you're
Senator Justin Boyd
Unverified
34:47
recognized. Thank you. I'll be brief. There was discussion from a couple of
the people, and I hope we'll keep this in mind as we vote, that, hey, our funding, we're not funding public schools to the same level. Personally, that's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about outcomes, right? Can our kids read and write? And I think we've done a lot of
Senator Jim Petty
Unverified
35:10
other things to help make us competitive on that front. Thank you.
Anybody else? Senator Petty? Just, and again, I'll be brief. I think to Senator Dismayne's point, with the focus on the lower income brackets, the lower income tax individuals. I think that's why where we're at
today, you're seeing some of the opposition being because it's benefiting the higher income individuals. I mean, the reality is there's a significant amount of tax that is paid now only by the higher income individuals. I think it breaks off around $25,000 or $30,000 in taxable income. So I think that's a good point. And the focus on the lesser income earning individuals
has played out, and that's why we're at today where the higher income individuals are benefiting. But again, no cuts in the services. Any other discussion? Okay. The motion before us
Chair (Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr)
Unverified

is due pass on Senate Bill 1. All in favor say aye. Any opposed? It's passed. Congratulations, Senator. Is there any other business to come before us? With that, we're adjourned.
