HB1211

House Bill 1211 is a budgetary appropriation act for the Northwest Arkansas Community College (NWACC) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The bill establishes the maximum number of authorized regular full-time employees at 1,137 and defines their respective job titles and maximum annual salary rates. Additionally, it authorizes the employment of up to 360 temporary or part-time 'Extra Help' employees. The legislation serves to formalize the personnel and operational spending limits for the college's educational and general administrative needs. By setting these maximums, the General Assembly controls the staffing levels and compensation ceilings for various academic, administrative, and maintenance roles within the institution. The bill is a standard appropriation measure typical of the legislative process for funding state-supported higher education entities.
