SB69

Senate Bill 69 is a fiscal session act designed to reappropriate unspent balances from previous appropriations for the Arkansas Department of Human Services, specifically for the Division of County Operations. The bill authorizes the transfer of up to $510,000 in federal funds to support the replacement of computer system equipment in agency field offices. It establishes strict disbursement controls, ensuring that expenditures comply with state fiscal laws and that maintenance and operational funds from other sources are not used for these specific capital improvements. The bill includes an emergency clause to ensure the authorization becomes effective on July 1, 2024, to maintain the continuity of agency operations. It emphasizes that the use of these funds must align with the legislative intent and budget recommendations provided during the session.
