HB1001

House Bill 1001 provides the necessary appropriations for the operation of the Arkansas House of Representatives for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill authorizes a total expenditure of $2,275,160, covering employee salaries, personal services matching, and maintenance and operational expenses. It grants the Speaker of the House and the Chief of Staff the authority to transfer funds between items if necessary and outlines the permissible uses for these funds, including expenses incurred during the legislative session and the interim period. The bill also establishes procedures for performance-based salary determinations for House employees. Due to the immediate need for these funds to support the operations of the 95th General Assembly, the act includes an emergency clause for immediate effect upon passage.
