SB199

Senate Bill 199 is a reappropriation act designed to authorize the transfer of remaining capital improvement funds for the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Specifically, the bill authorizes the use of up to $69,563 from the Livestock and Poultry Special Revenue Fund to complete construction, renovation, and equipment purchases for the Necropsy Room at the Livestock and Poultry Diagnostic Lab. The bill establishes disbursement controls, mandating compliance with state purchasing, accounting, and budgetary laws. It also permits the agency to supplement these state funds with grants, donations, or federal funds. The act includes an emergency clause to ensure the funds become available on July 1, 2025, preventing potential delays in the project's completion. It explicitly prohibits the use of general maintenance and operation funds for the specific projects outlined in the act.
