SB46

Senate Bill 46 is a routine appropriation act for the Arkansas State University Three Rivers (ASUTR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The bill establishes the maximum number of regular employees and sets the maximum annual salary rates for various administrative, academic, and support positions within the institution. It covers a wide range of roles, including leadership positions, information technology staff, fiscal and maintenance personnel, public safety officers, and both full-time and part-time faculty. The legislation does not change existing law, but rather provides the specific budgetary authorization necessary for the university to maintain its operations and personnel staffing levels for the upcoming fiscal year. By defining these maximums, the bill sets limits on the university's personnel expenditures.
