The law specifying what securities may be accepted as security for the deposit of public funds of the State of Arkansas or any political subdivision of the state is inadequate in that it is unduly restrictive on the types of securities which may be accepted. The types of securities which may be accepted as security for deposits of public funds is in need of being expanded, and this subchapter is supplementary to and does not repeal any existing law which specifies certain securities which may be accepted as security for deposit of public funds. To that end, this subchapter is declared to be remedial and should be liberally construed.Acts 1975, No. 373, § 1; A.S.A. 1947, § 13-809.
