SB132

Senate Bill 132 is a supplemental appropriation bill designed to provide funding for the payment of various claims against the State of Arkansas. These claims have been approved by the Arkansas State Claims Commission and the General Assembly. The bill authorizes specific expenditures from various state funds to entities and individuals, including corporations, estates, and government departments. The total appropriations cover a range of financial obligations, including tax-related claims, legal settlements, and administrative costs. Additionally, the bill outlines administrative procedures for the disbursement of these funds, including special provisions for handling claims related to specific state departments. It also includes an emergency clause, declaring that immediate passage is necessary to uphold the state's financial reputation by fulfilling these outstanding debts promptly. The bill does not permanently change state law, as it is a one-time appropriation measure.
