AN ACT FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.
HB 1147 allocates $3.1 million annually for Arkansas State Capitol security and $9.1 million for HVAC upgrades to the Secretary of State's office for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It also transfers $3.1 million from a reserve fund to cover Capitol security costs for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The bill directs these funds to be paid from state treasury reserves as determined by the Chief Fiscal Officer. The appropriations take effect July 1, 2026, though security funding becomes effective immediately upon passage.
