SB 23 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE JUDICIAL DISCIPLINE AND DISABILITY COMMISSION APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

SB 23 allocates $837,239 in state funds for the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission (JDDC) during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill specifies funding for six staff positions, including an Executive Director and specialized roles like Investigator and Legal/ Admin Secretary, covering salaries and operational costs. It directly supports the JDDC's work handling disciplinary matters for judges and disability-related issues within Arkansas' judicial system. The funding is strictly limited to the commission's authorized operations, as defined by state budget laws. This is a routine budget authorization, not a policy change.
