Continued funding for Arkansas historic resources

Beginning July 1, 2025, the Military Department can reuse up to $300,000 from a remaining 2024 appropriation. The money comes from the Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Grant and Trust Fund. It supports buying, managing, caring for, or preserving state-owned lands, historic sites, buildings, structures, and objects. Spending cannot exceed the remaining appropriation balance.

Continued funding for Arkansas military buildings

Beginning July 1, 2025, Arkansas’s Department of the Military can reuse remaining funds approved in 2024 for military buildings. Camp Joseph T. Robinson headquarters construction has separate caps: $2.225775 million from the Development and Enhancement Fund and $6.677325 million in federal funds. Fort Chaffee construction has separate federal caps: $5.117313 million for a Readiness Center Joint Force Headquarters and $12.747217 million for a Readiness Center. The Armory Construction Fund provides up to $1.849784 million for repairs, construction, renovation, landscaping, and maintenance of National Guard armories, hangars, and other properties. Each amount is limited to its remaining appropriation balance; federal funds must be designated by the state’s chief fiscal officer.

Up to $6.5 million supports repairs, construction, renovation, expansion, landscaping, maintenance, improvements, and equipment at the Professional Education Center. The Multi-Purpose Machinegun Range has two separate funding caps: $11.392311 million and $8 million. A backup water storage tank has a $6.84 million cap. Each amount is limited to its remaining appropriation balance and uses federal funds designated by the state’s chief fiscal officer.

Military projects get funding options and limits

Beginning July 1, 2025, agencies can supplement these projects with grants, donations, federal funds, and available money not already committed. Contracts and other commitments cannot exceed project funds actually available in the State Treasury. Agencies cannot use their maintenance and general operating appropriations for these projects. Spending must serve the law’s stated project purposes. Unless another law provides otherwise, agencies must follow state purchasing, accounting, budgeting, revenue stabilization, and fiscal control laws administered by the Department of Finance and Administration.
