SB66

Senate Bill 66 is a fiscal bill that reappropriates unspent balances from previously approved capital improvement projects for the Arkansas Secretary of State. The bill authorizes the carry-over of funds, effective July 1, 2024, for a variety of projects, including the purchase of voting machine equipment, HVAC and structural repairs to the State Capitol, grounds maintenance, and various technology system upgrades. Additionally, it provides funding for the preservation of historic state-owned documents and sites. The legislation includes standard fiscal controls requiring compliance with state purchasing and budgetary laws. It also includes an emergency clause to ensure the reappropriation takes effect by the start of the new fiscal year to avoid operational delays.
