This bill proposes the transfer of the Healthy Employee Lifestyle Program from the Department of Health to the Department of Transformation and Shared Services. It outlines the administrative functions, statutory authority, and resources associated with the program that will also be transferred. The bill ensures that existing orders, rules, and regulations of the program remain in effect until amended or repealed, and mandates the Department of Health to provide necessary information to facilitate this transition.

Additionally, the bill amends Arkansas Code 21-4-106 to reflect the new department overseeing the program and updates the language regarding employee participation and rewards. It specifies that state entities must allow employee participation in the program by July 1, 2026, and introduces provisions for rewarding employees who meet program requirements, including the potential for additional leave. The bill also emphasizes the importance of maintaining exercise areas for employees in or near agency buildings.
