The bill proposes appropriations for the Department of Commerce, specifically targeting the Division of Workforce Services and Arkansas Rehabilitation Services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It outlines a total appropriation of $60,119,304 for Arkansas Rehabilitation Services, with significant allocations for various programs, including $30,000,000 for grants and aid/purchase of services, $310,000 for assistive equipment purchase grants, and $750,000 for a Technology Equipment Revolving Loan Program. The bill also establishes maximum employee counts for different divisions, including a new maximum of 50 temporary or part-time employees, and emphasizes workforce development through substantial funding for training programs, apprenticeship initiatives, and adult education.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language to specify the fiscal year as 2025-2026 and modifies timelines for certain provisions, changing references from the fiscal year 2024-2025 to 2025-2026. It allows for the carry forward of unexpended funds for both Arkansas Rehabilitation Services and the Division of State Services for the Blind into the next fiscal year, contingent upon agencies providing justifications for the need for such funding. The bill mandates that all available funds for Adult Education be allocated to administrative units meeting established efficiency criteria, with unallocated funds redistributed based on need. An emergency clause is included to ensure the bill's immediate effectiveness from July 1, 2025, to maintain essential governmental programs.
