The Brighter Start Act of 2025 aims to enhance the Arkansas Brighter Future Fund by requiring the Treasurer of State to make a one-time contribution of $100 to each existing and future account established for designated beneficiaries. This contribution will be sourced from the General Revenue Fund Account of the State Apportionment Fund. The act also outlines the responsibilities of the Treasurer, which include administering the disbursement of these funds and verifying the eligibility of accounts receiving the contributions.
The bill introduces new legal language to codify the act, including a title and specific provisions regarding the contributions and the administration of the fund. It establishes a new section in the Arkansas Code, detailing the process and requirements for the contributions to ensure that both existing and future accounts benefit from this initiative.
