SB73

Senate Bill 73 is a fiscal measure that reappropriates existing fund balances for the Northwest Technical Institute in Arkansas. The bill authorizes the carry-over of unspent appropriations from previous legislative acts (Act 152 and Act 216 of 2023) into the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024. These funds are designated for capital improvement projects, including construction, renovation, major maintenance, equipment purchases, and specific work on an Industrial Technology Center. The bill establishes disbursement controls, requiring compliance with state fiscal and purchasing laws. It also includes an emergency clause to ensure the appropriations remain available by the start of the new fiscal year, preventing potential service disruptions.
