Military debts can reduce state tax refunds
The Arkansas Department of the Military can now collect qualifying debts from Arkansas state tax refunds. The law makes fines under Arkansas Code sections 12-64-301, 12-64-403, and 12-64-405 eligible for this collection process. People who owe these debts and are due a state tax refund may receive a smaller refund.
