The bill amends Arkansas Code 25-1-111 to enhance the framework for the administration and disbursement of funds related to various criminal justice grant programs, specifically including the Victims of Crime Act, the Violence Against Women Act, the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, and the newly added Sexual Assault Services Program. Key changes include the requirement for the designated state agency to provide opportunities for subgrantee qualification selection assistance and programmatic support, as well as the establishment of a Grant Advisory Board to assist potential beneficiaries of these funds. The board will review grant processes, hear grievances, and ensure timely notification of any revisions to existing rules.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the designated state agency must not disburse funds from these programs without the Grant Advisory Board's review and advice. The board will consist of representatives from various organizations, including those focused on sexual assault and domestic violence, and will be responsible for preparing quarterly reports on the status of fund administration and disbursement. The amendments aim to improve oversight and support for victim services programs while ensuring compliance with federal guidelines.
