SB 40 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE BUREAU OF LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH AND THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

Senate Bill 40 provides the annual appropriation for the Bureau of Legislative Research and the Legislative Council for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The bill establishes the maximum number of regular employees, specifying various job titles and their corresponding salary grades for these legislative support agencies. It also includes provisions for the temporary reclassification of positions into other specified job titles, without increasing the total authorized employee count. This ensures the operational funding and staffing structure for the agencies that provide research, legal, and administrative support to the state legislature.
