AN ACT FOR THE ARKANSAS STATE CLAIMS COMMISSION APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

HB 1100 appropriates $762,346 for the Arkansas State Claims Commission's operations and $2,250,000 for payments to surviving spouses and dependent children of state employees (including police, firefighters, and correctional officers) killed in the line of duty, as well as for processing small claims. The bill funds the Commission's staff salaries, administrative costs, and claim payments for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It directly affects families of deceased state employees who qualify under existing law and ensures the Commission has resources to process these claims. The funding is allocated through specific budget lines for personnel, operations, and claim payments, with strict compliance required under Arkansas fiscal laws.
