HB1249

House Bill 1249 is a budget appropriation act for Arkansas Tech University for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. The primary purpose of the bill is to establish the maximum number of regular employees and their respective maximum annual salary rates for the university. It lists 126 specific job titles or employee pools—ranging from executive leadership to support staff, public safety, and skilled trades—and dictates the compensation caps for these positions. This legislation is a standard annual appropriations bill intended to authorize the university's administrative and operational staffing structure as part of the state's budget process. It does not initiate new academic programs or educational policies, but rather provides the financial framework for personnel expenditures.
