HB1070

House Bill 1070 is a fiscal bill that establishes the maximum number of regular employees and the maximum annual salary rates for positions at Southern Arkansas University for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. The bill specifies authorized staffing levels across a wide variety of administrative, academic, technical, and support roles. It lists specific salary caps for positions ranging from the university president and vice presidents to IT staff, maintenance personnel, and library support. The purpose of the bill is to set the legal spending and staffing authorization for the university's personnel services for the designated fiscal year. It does not create new university policy, but rather defines the fiscal parameters for staffing and compensation. This is standard appropriations legislation intended to fund university operations as part of the state's budget process.
