HB1228

House Bill 1228 is an appropriations act that establishes the maximum number of regular employees and the corresponding maximum annual salary rates for the Northwest Arkansas Community College for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill lists dozens of staff categories, ranging from executive and administrative leadership to information technology, fiscal support, public safety, skilled trades, and library staff. It serves as a routine budgetary measure to authorize the personnel expenditures of the college for the specified academic year. By defining these staffing levels and salary caps, the bill sets the operational framework for the institution's human resources budget. It does not initiate new programs or change educational policy, but rather provides the necessary fiscal authorization for the college to manage its workforce.
