The act requires strict compliance with state procurement and fiscal control laws.
Potential Impact Analysis
Who Might Benefit?
The primary beneficiaries are the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment—Division of Environmental Quality, which gains necessary funding to maintain its programs, and the general public, who benefit from the continued abatement and proper disposal of used tires, which supports environmental health and public safety.
Who Might Suffer?
The primary entity negatively impacted is the General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund, which will see a reduction of $2.5 million in its balance to provide the supplemental appropriation. Additionally, taxpayers may be indirectly impacted as this capital is diverted from the state's general reserve pool to address this specific funding shortfall.
