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 its title and specific provisions regarding the contributions. It establishes a new section in the Arkansas Code that details the process and requirements for the contributions, ensuring that both existing and future accounts benefit from this financial support.
