AI-Generated Summary
Senate Bill 509 amends Arkansas law regarding the financial stipends provided to members of the Board of Corrections. The bill repeals a provision in Arkansas Code § 25-16-904 that authorized a stipend of eighty-five dollars for board members. Simultaneously, it amends Arkansas Code § 25-16-905 to add the Board of Corrections to the list of entities whose members are authorized to receive a stipend of one hundred and ten dollars. Effectively, this legislation serves to increase the daily stipend amount for members of the Board of Corrections. This action aligns the compensation for Board of Corrections members with the higher tier of state board stipends already established under state law.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?
The primary beneficiaries of this bill are the members of the Arkansas Board of Corrections, who will receive an increase in their authorized daily stipend from $85 to $110.
Who Might Suffer?
The primary entity negatively impacted is the State of Arkansas, specifically the taxpayer-funded budget, as the bill increases the total expenditure associated with compensating the members of the Board of Corrections.
