HB 1017 Arkansas House · 2026 Fiscal Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - PROMOTION BOARDS APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2026-2027 FISCAL YEAR.

This bill provides funding for the Department of Agriculture's promotion boards for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. It also allows the state's Chief Fiscal Officer to waive certain mandatory fund deductions for specific agricultural revenue collections and fee structures during that same period. These financial adjustments apply only to the designated fiscal year and require notification to state financial officials. The legislation does not alter the underlying laws governing these funds but modifies how fees are collected in this instance.
