HB 1083 Arkansas House · 2026 Fiscal Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF THE MILITARY REAPPROPRIATION.

HB 1083, now enacted as Act 106, reappropriates funds to the Arkansas Department of the Military for various capital projects at Camp Joseph T. Robinson and Fort Chaffee. The bill allocates money from federal sources and the Armory Construction Fund to support specific initiatives, including repairs and renovations at the Professional Education Center, construction of readiness centers, and improvements to training ranges and water storage facilities. Effective July 1, 2026, these funds are subject to strict financial controls that prevent contracts from exceeding available treasury amounts and prohibit using maintenance budgets for these capital projects. The legislation also declares an emergency to ensure the funds become available on time, as state law limits appropriations to a single fiscal year.

TECHNICAL

The bill title was changed from 'Act 106' to 'HB 1083' to reflect its current status as a House Bill rather than a passed Act.
