SB 3 Arkansas Senate · 2026 Fiscal Session

AN ACT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SHARED ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES APPROPRIATION FOR THE 2026-2027 FISCAL YEAR.

This bill amends the Arkansas Procurement Law to clarify rules for cooperative purchasing agreements involving public school construction projects. It defines "public school local government construction services" as repairs or improvements to public buildings that cost up to one million dollars per fiscal year. The changes require specific reporting details for these contracts and allow units to request waivers if they need to exceed the one million dollar limit. Ultimately, the legislation updates state code to streamline how municipalities and school districts share resources for smaller construction projects.
