HB 1113 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE OFFICE OF THE TREASURER OF STATE - GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

HB 1113 appropriates $42 million for debt service on Arkansas' College Savings and Higher Education General Obligation Bonds, and $43 million for debt service on State Water, Waste Disposal, and Pollution Abatement General Obligation Bonds, for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds, payable from specific state bond funds, cover principal and interest payments to bondholders for existing education and environmental infrastructure projects. This bill directly affects the Office of the Treasurer of State, which manages these payments, and ensures timely debt service on bonds issued to support higher education and environmental programs. The legislation does not create new programs but provides funding for existing bond obligations.
