AI-Generated Summary

House Bill 1133 is an appropriation act that provides funding for the Arkansas Secretary of State's office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The bill establishes the maximum number of regular and extra-help employees allowed for the office and sets their maximum annual salary rates. It allocates specific funds from various sources, including the State Central Services Fund, federal funds, and special cash funds, for office operations, personal services, and maintenance. Key appropriations cover election expenses, county voting system grants, and the maintenance of the State Capitol buildings and grounds. Additional funding is designated for the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Arkansas Video Service Act, and the operation of the Capitol's gift shop and grill. The bill also authorizes funds for filing and reporting systems, including financial disclosure and business service portals, as well as capital projects like mechanical room construction.

Potential Impact Analysis

Who Might Benefit?

The primary beneficiaries are the employees and administrative operations of the Arkansas Secretary of State's office, as the bill provides for their salaries and operating expenses. Additionally, county governments and election officials benefit from the allocation of $10 million in grants for voting system upgrades and maintenance. The general public also benefits from the maintenance and restoration of state facilities, the upkeep of monuments, and the functional operation of the office's information and filing systems.

Who Might Suffer?

There are no specific groups or entities that are directly or negatively impacted by this bill in a punitive sense. Because this is a standard appropriations bill to fund ongoing government operations, any perceived negative impact would be limited to the opportunity cost of the state funds allocated, meaning those funds are unavailable for other potential legislative priorities or governmental programs.
