This bill appropriates $37,500,000 to the Department of Commerce - Arkansas Economic Development Commission for capital improvement projects, grants, and programs aimed at incentivizing companies to establish or expand facilities in Arkansas. The funds will be used to provide financial incentives to businesses that meet specific employment criteria as outlined in agreements with the Department. The bill also establishes disbursement controls to ensure that no contracts exceed the available State Treasury funds and that the appropriated funds are not used for other operational purposes.

Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause, stating that the appropriations must be effective by July 1, 2023, to prevent any disruption in essential governmental programs. This clause emphasizes the urgency of the funding to support the agency's operations and outlines the potential harm that could arise from any delays in the bill's implementation.
