AI-Generated Summary
House Bill 1025 is an appropriation act that provides funding for the Arkansas Department of Health's Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Programs for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill authorizes a maximum of 31 regular employees and 4 extra-help positions to carry out the program's functions. It appropriates a total of $14,593,171 to cover regular salaries, matching personal services, operating expenses, professional fees, and specific tobacco prevention and cessation activities. Additionally, the bill allocates funds for nutrition and physical activity programs. It includes provisions for transferring $500,000 to the Breast Cancer Control Fund for Medicaid matching purposes. The act also outlines administrative procedures for budget modifications, legislative oversight, and compliance with state fiscal laws. Finally, the bill includes an emergency clause to ensure the funding takes effect by July 1, 2024.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?
The primary beneficiaries include the employees of the Arkansas Department of Health assigned to the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Programs, as well as the individuals and communities served by these programs, specifically those targeted by tobacco prevention and health initiatives. Additionally, the state's Medicaid services for breast and cervical cancer screening and treatment benefit from the $500,000 transfer authorized to meet matching requirements.
Who Might Suffer?
There are no specific groups or entities directly negatively impacted by this bill, as it is a routine fiscal appropriation measure to continue existing government functions. However, if Tobacco Settlement funds were to decrease or expire, employees whose positions are funded by these sources would be negatively impacted, as the bill explicitly disclaims any state commitment to maintain these positions or provide replacement funding without further legislative and gubernatorial action.
