HB1085

House Bill 1085 is a fiscal bill that seeks to reappropriate unspent capital improvement balances for the Arkansas Department of Corrections - Division of Correction. These reappropriations, effective July 1, 2024, cover a variety of previously authorized projects, including prison expansion, facility maintenance, infrastructure repairs, and various industry and farm operations. The bill does not authorize new spending but rather allows the agency to continue utilizing previously allocated funds that remained as balances at the end of the prior fiscal period. Specific allocations are designated for projects such as water treatment plant upgrades, generator installations, farm equipment and infrastructure, and prison industry projects. The act includes standard fiscal control measures and an emergency clause to ensure funding availability at the start of the new fiscal year.
