SB113

Senate Bill 113 is an appropriation act that establishes the maximum number of employees and the corresponding salary rates for Arkansas State University-Newport for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill outlines authorization for various administrative, academic, and auxiliary positions across the institution, including staff in information technology, fiscal support, public safety, and maintenance. It also specifies salary caps for faculty and instructional roles, both full-time and part-time. By setting these maximums, the bill provides the budgetary framework for the university's personnel operations for the designated period. It does not initiate new policies but rather formalizes the authorized staffing levels and compensation limits for the institution as requested by the Joint Budget Committee. The bill encompasses both 12-month and 9-month employment classifications to accommodate the university's operational needs.
