The bill proposes an appropriation of $75,787,520 for the University of Arkansas System for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. It establishes a maximum number of regular employees and their respective salary rates across various divisions, including the Arkansas Archeological Survey, Criminal Justice Institute, and others. New legal language specifies these maximum employee counts and salary rates, ensuring clarity in funding allocation for positions such as the President and Vice Presidents, as well as administrative and academic roles. Additionally, the bill allows for a certain number of part-time or temporary employees, referred to as "Extra Help," with defined limits on their numbers and pay rates.

The bill also includes specific allocations for various programs, such as $3,536,513 for the Criminal Justice Institute, $150,000 for illicit drug education and training, and $2,100,000 for the Arkansas Research and Education Optical Network operations. An emergency clause is introduced, mandating that the act takes effect on July 1, 2025, to ensure uninterrupted operations of the agency. The bill emphasizes compliance with existing fiscal control laws and outlines the legislative intent behind the appropriations, reflecting a commitment to supporting the educational and operational needs of the University of Arkansas.
