SB 362 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - DIVISION OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION YOUTH ORGANIZATION GRANTS APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2025-2026 FISCAL YEAR.

Senate Bill 362 proposes to appropriate funds for the Department of Education's Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide grants to youth organizations for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. An amendment to this bill specifies requirements for youth organizations to receive these grants. To be eligible, organizations must notify the Department of Education of their intent to comply with the act, demonstrate fiscal accountability, and possess a Certificate of Good Standing from the Secretary of State. The amendment also removes a prior restriction related to the age of an organization's charter and requires the Department of Education to report any grant violations.
