AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2026-2027 FISCAL YEAR.

HB 1102 proposes a $400,000 state grant to the Department of Veterans Affairs to support the Veterans Council of NW Arkansas. The funds are designated specifically for the construction, renovation, upgrade, and expansion of the Veterans Wall of Honor in Bella Vista, Arkansas. The bill includes an emergency clause to ensure the money is available starting July 1, 2026, and outlines standard state financial rules for spending. Although the legislation was introduced in April 2026, it did not advance beyond the House Budget Committee before the session ended.
