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 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 the Arkansas Code, specifically adding a section that details the contribution process and the roles of the Treasurer. This initiative is designed to support families and beneficiaries by providing additional financial resources through the Brighter Future Fund, thereby promoting savings for education and other future needs.
