This bill appropriates funds for the Department of Health's Arkansas Tobacco Settlement Commission for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It establishes a maximum of one regular employee, specifically an Administrative Analyst, with a salary of $43,881, and outlines additional funding for personal services matching, operational expenses, and professional fees, totaling $357,456. The bill also includes provisions for monitoring and evaluating program expenditures from the Tobacco Settlement Program Fund and provides grants as authorized by previous legislation.

Key changes in the bill include the adjustment of the fiscal year from 2024 to 2025 for various sections, ensuring that the appropriations are effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Additionally, the bill emphasizes that state funds will not replace Tobacco Settlement funds when they expire unless specifically appropriated by the General Assembly. An emergency clause is included, stating that the act's effectiveness on July 1, 2025, is crucial for the agency's operations, thereby allowing for immediate implementation to avoid disruption of essential governmental programs.
