SB123

Senate Bill 123 serves as an appropriations act for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The primary purpose of the bill is to establish the maximum number of authorized regular employees and set the maximum annual salary rates for these positions. It categorizes staff into various pools, including administrative, academic, fiscal support, public safety, and general maintenance roles. The bill authorizes thousands of specific personnel positions across a wide range of job titles, from high-level executive administrators to support staff and skilled trades. This legislation functions as a standard budget and personnel authorization measure, defining the fiscal and staffing boundaries for the institution's operations for the specified period. It does not introduce new policy changes beyond the authorization of these positions and their respective salary caps.
