HB 1235 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS EAST ARKANSAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

HB 1235 appropriates funding for the University of Arkansas East Arkansas Community College (UA-EACC) for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, establishing specific salary limits and maximum staffing levels for administrative and operational roles. The bill details exact annual salary rates and employee counts for positions including the Chancellor ($208,138), IT staff (e.g., Network Engineer at $200,973), academic officers, and support personnel like counselors and accountants. This funding directly affects UA-EACC’s budget, enabling it to hire and pay staff within the specified limits for the upcoming fiscal year. As enacted (Act 187), it is a routine budget measure supporting the college’s existing operations, not a new policy or program.
