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 position for an Administrative Analyst at a salary rate of $43,881, along with additional funding for personal services matching, operating 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 outlines the restrictions on transferring appropriations, ensuring that any modifications to budget classifications require approval from the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the Legislative Council.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the state is not committed to funding positions if Tobacco Settlement funds are insufficient and that state funds will not replace these funds unless specifically appropriated. It emphasizes compliance with existing fiscal control laws and includes an emergency clause to ensure the act's effectiveness starting July 1, 2025, to prevent disruption in essential governmental programs. The bill also specifies that certain provisions will only be in effect for the duration of the fiscal year, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
