SB22

Senate Bill 22 is a legislative act providing the appropriations for personal services and operating expenses for the University of Arkansas System and its various divisions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill outlines the maximum number of regular employees authorized for various administrative, academic, and support roles within the System Administration, the Division of Agriculture, and the Arkansas Archeological Survey. It establishes specific maximum annual salary rates for each defined position, ranging from senior executive leadership to administrative, technical, and maintenance staff. The act serves as a routine budgetary measure to ensure the university system has the legal authority to hire personnel and allocate funding for operational functions during the upcoming fiscal year. It does not introduce new policy changes, but rather codifies the staffing and compensation structure for the university system as approved by the Joint Budget Committee.
