The bill proposes an appropriation for the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. It establishes a maximum number of regular employees, totaling 87, with specified positions and salary grades. The bill also authorizes 20 part-time or temporary employees, referred to as "Extra Help," and outlines the appropriated funds for various operational expenses, including regular salaries, personal services matching, overtime, and benefits, amounting to a total of $244,061,994. Additionally, it allocates $1,706,000,000 for payments to beneficiaries, including $1,700,000,000 for non-employee benefits and $6,000,000 for refunds/reimbursements.

New legal language is introduced to clarify the appropriations and the intent of the General Assembly regarding compliance with fiscal control laws. An emergency clause is also included, stating that the act must take effect on July 1, 2024, to ensure the proper administration of essential governmental programs. This clause emphasizes the urgency of the appropriations to prevent any disruption in services provided by the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System.
