Governor Asa Hutchinson (R) and legislative leaders have finally reached an agreement on a tax cut package, so the Governor is now expected to make a formal statement soon announcing that he will convene a special session after Thanksgiving. NACDS has confirmed with several sources that the repeal of the Insulin Rebate law, Act 1104, will be an issue the legislature addresses.
Also in Arkansas, the Governor has been assured by his Department of Human Services that the federal government will be granting a new waiver soon for the Medicaid expansion program first enacted in 2014.
