HB1095

House Bill 1095 is a fiscal bill that reappropriates existing capital improvement balances for the Arkansas Department of Education’s Educational Television Division. Specifically, it provides for the carry-over of $1,163,406 from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Grant and Trust Fund, which was previously authorized for the Arkansas PBS Archival Preservation Project. The bill establishes standard disbursement controls, requiring compliance with state fiscal and purchasing laws while prohibiting the use of general maintenance and operation funds for these capital projects. It also declares an emergency, ensuring the legislation takes effect on July 1, 2024, to maintain continuity in state operations and funding.
