Subchapter 4 - Police Pension and Relief Funds — Cities of the First Class
§ 24-11-403. Creation of fund — Tax levy

(a) Annually, a tax not to exceed one (1) mill on the dollar of all taxable property in any cities or towns in this state is levied as a fund for pensioned and superannuated members of the police department, for the surviving spouses and minor children or dependent parents of deceased members of the police department, and to relieve the members in case of temporary disability.
(b) This fund shall be known as the “policemen's pension and relief fund” and shall be collected as other taxes are collected and shall be turned over to the board of trustees of the policemen's pension and relief fund, as provided in this section.
(c) In those cities which do not have a policemen's pension and relief fund but which cover their police officers under the Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System, the tax, once approved by a majority of those voting on the question, shall be collected annually as other taxes are collected and shall be turned over to each city to be applied to each city's account in that system, in such manner and amounts as determined by the board of trustees of that system.
