SB47

Senate Bill 47 is a budget appropriation act for South Arkansas University-Tech (SAU-Tech) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The bill establishes the maximum number of regular employees allowed for the university and lists the maximum annual salary rates for various positions. It categorizes staff into several pools, including administrative, academic, auxiliary enterprises, and career academy positions. The legislation does not change substantive university policy but instead defines the personnel capacity and salary ceiling for the institution's operations for the specified fiscal period. This is standard appropriations legislation necessary for the continued functioning of the state-supported institution.
