HB1019

House Bill 1019 serves as an appropriations act for the Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The primary purpose of the bill is to establish the maximum number of authorized regular, full-time employees, define their job classifications, and set maximum annual salary rates for those positions. It outlines a wide range of roles including administrative, academic, auxiliary, and support staff. Additionally, the bill authorizes the hiring of up to 100 temporary or part-time 'extra help' employees. The legislation does not set actual salary amounts or expenditures but rather establishes the legal ceiling for employment and salary limits for the college's operational budget.
