HB1718 reaffirms gold and silver coins as legal tender in the state, exempting them from taxation as personal property.
The Arkansas State House of Representatives passed HB1718 on April 3, 2023 by a vote of 82 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a strong step toward restoring constitutional money and the gold standard.
