AN ACT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION.

This bill provides an additional $5 million in funding to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences for its High-Risk Pregnancy Program and the IDHI Stroke Program. The money is taken from the state's General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund and added to the university's existing budget to ensure these specific health services can continue operating. The legislation declares an emergency to allow the funds to take effect immediately, ensuring that essential medical care for high-risk pregnancies and stroke patients is not disrupted. Once signed into law, the university must follow all standard state financial rules when spending these new dollars.
