Session Analytics

A breakdown of bills and legislators by party.

Bills by Sponsoring Party

236 total bills

In Arkansas, many bills—particularly appropriation and budget-related legislation—are sponsored by the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) rather than individual legislators or specific parties. This is a structural feature of the Arkansas General Assembly, designed to ensure efficient, bipartisan management of state funds and agency operations. As a result, Fiscal sessions typically show a large “Unknown” slice in grey—those are JBC-sponsored bills that can't be attributed to a single party.
