HB 1081 Arkansas House · 2026 Fiscal Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT - OIL AND GAS COMMISSION REAPPROPRIATION.

This bill, now enacted as Act 104, provides funding to the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment's Oil and Gas Commission for repairing the roof of its Education Center and Warehouse. The legislation allocates up to $275,274 from federal funds and an additional $296,552 from state cash reserves, with both amounts becoming effective on July 1, 2026. It includes strict financial controls to ensure contracts do not exceed available funds and mandates that these specific repair costs be paid separately from the agency's general operating budget. The act also declares an emergency to allow the spending to begin immediately, bypassing potential delays in the legislative session.
