5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

New monthly funding rules for Arkansas services

Beginning July 1, 2026, Arkansas distributes remaining available general revenue on each month's last business day. Each fund receives money based on its share of the law's maximum allocations. The first round, Allocation A, totals up to about $6.644 billion; only after it is filled does Allocation B provide up to $60.747209 million. Major first-round limits include about $2.444 billion for public schools, $1.403 billion for human services grants, and $309.487318 million for Children's Educational Freedom Accounts. Other limits include $431.457721 million for prison care and custody, $144.398915 million for prison medical contracts, and $103.150337 million for State Police. Public health receives up to $77.059639 million, while county aid, municipal aid, and county jail reimbursement receive $19.928613 million, $27.316052 million, and $34.8 million. The schedule also funds colleges, child and family services, disability services, behavioral health, early learning, libraries, and workforce programs. These are funding limits, not guaranteed payments: actual transfers depend on available revenue, and the law does not change tax rates.

More reserve money for Arkansas Medicaid

The law requires a $100 million transfer from Arkansas's General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund into the Medicaid Sustainability Set-Aside. This adds to existing balances and other money approved by lawmakers. The Chief Fiscal Officer makes the transfer beginning July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical after earlier 2026 fiscal-session transfers finish. Any money remaining in the set-aside that is not committed returns to the general reserve on July 1, 2027. This funding provision does not set new Medicaid eligibility rules or benefit amounts.

More school-choice reserve money for families

The law requires a $70 million transfer from Arkansas's General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund into the Children's Educational Freedom Account Set-Aside. This adds to existing balances and other money approved by lawmakers. The Chief Fiscal Officer makes the transfer beginning July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical after earlier 2026 fiscal-session transfers finish. Any money remaining in the set-aside that is not committed returns to the general reserve on July 1, 2027. This provision does not set household eligibility rules or the amount a family's account receives.

Conditional funding for West Memphis manufacturing

Effective upon passage and approval, Arkansas authorizes up to $150 million in incentives and $150 million for roads serving one West Memphis advanced-manufacturing facility. Data centers are excluded, and the Chief Fiscal Officer transfers available reserve money through the Economic Development Incentive Quick Action Closing Fund. Before incentive transfers, the Commerce Secretary must certify a final agreement showing benefits exceed costs and requiring repayment or penalties for unmet obligations. Before road transfers, the Transportation director must estimate necessary construction and operating improvements after counting other available funding, including federal money. The combined $300 million ceiling depends on available funds and does not guarantee household jobs, wages, or payments.

Reserve money shifts to designated state accounts

The Chief Fiscal Officer transfers $43.7 million from Arkansas's General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund into a discretionary set-aside. Another $5 million goes into the Motor Vehicle Set-Aside, with both transfers adding to existing balances and other approved funding. Transfers begin July 1, 2026, or as soon as practical after earlier 2026 fiscal-session transfers finish. Any money remaining in these set-asides that is not committed returns to the general reserve on July 1, 2027. The law does not name specific uses, household payments, or changes to vehicle costs or services.
