Arkansas funds judicial oversight and staff
The law provides $837,239 for Arkansas’s Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. This state funding includes $426,018 for salaries, $145,376 for employee benefits, and $138,150 for operating expenses. It also includes $26,875 for conferences and travel, $72,740 for professional fees, and $28,080 for investigator expenses. No money is allocated for capital purchases or data processing. The commission can have up to six regular employees: an executive director, deputy director, fiscal manager, investigator, paralegal, and legal/administrative secretary. The law does not guarantee that every position is filled. Spending must stay within the appropriation and available funds, serve the stated purposes, and follow state purchasing and financial rules. This funding supports commission operations, not direct payments to households.
