AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - ARKANSAS SENTENCING COMMISSION APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

SB 20 allocates $475,757 in state funding for the Arkansas Sentencing Commission during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill specifically covers salaries for three staff positions (a director, attorney, and quality assurance manager) and operational costs like office expenses and travel.
