Members, if you can go ahead and take your seats, we've got about one minute before we're We're gonna get started despite what the clock says in the back of the room.

3:57
All right, members, with that, Chair sees the quorum.
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
4:27
All right, with that, Chair, Cesar Quorum, first up, we've got adoption of our house, or I'm sorry, subcommittee rules. Do we have any questions on the rules? Seeing none, I need a motion to adopt. I've got a motion. I've got a second. Any discussion on the motion? Seeing none, those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed?
Motion carries. Members, I just kind of want to go through what to expect, at least I think Chairman Wardlaw is not here. It may change some as we work through. But, for instance, when we go to Section B, Billy is going to go through every one of those items. Then I'm going to come back, and I'm going to say any questions for B1, 2, 3, 4, and so on and so forth until we get through. If you have a question, hit your mic when we say B2 if the question is on B2. if you have a question on b6 wait until we say b6 and then you'll be recognized you know at that
point but if you jump in line early and hit your button and i call on you and your question's on b6 and we're still discussing b2 then it's slow down the process and then we have the wrong people at the table and all those sorts of things so again if you don't mind wait and hit your mic when you're uh when when your item comes up that you'd have a question on uh the other part is on the reports section uh those reports are online you know you know when we announce this meeting uh what i'd ask is if you take your time go ahead and review those reports if you have questions
you'll be recognized for questions if not we will make a we'll just assume that the reports both in j and k are reviewed so if you have questions points you want to make about them then you know ask to be recognized other than that uh we'll assume that the reports are
reviewed with that Does my co-chair have any other comments? Seeing none, we're going to move to Section B. Thank you,

Mr. Chairman. Section B, these are various temporary appropriation requests. These are requests for appropriation only.
They have sufficient funding, but the agencies are low on spending authority that's authorized their operations bill. Requests in this section are to spend funds from either general revenue, special revenue, or trust funds. The first item, B1, is a letter from the Department of Corrections, Division of Community Correction. This is for $450,000 in appropriation. It's to cover costs associated with replacing expired safety vests, increases in leases, and approved maintenance projects. This is supported by parole and probationary fees from offenders. Next item, B2, is a letter from the Department of Corrections Division of Community Correction.
It's for $1.5 million in spending authority. This is to cover increased costs in food and utilities as well as anticipated expenses. It's supported by general revenue. Next item, B3, is a letter from Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. This is for $1 million in appropriation. It's to provide spending authority to pay for the increase in utilization of the education freedom accounts. The letter says the program has grown from 4,000 families to last year to over 13,000 families for this year. This is supported by carryover funds from general revenue.
The next item, B4, is a letter from the Department of Health, Minority Health Commission. This is for $127,000, the spending authority. It's the launch of maternal health outreach and education program in collaboration with the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. It's supported by tobacco settlement funds. B5 is a letter from Public Safety Division of Emergency Management. It's for $200,000 in appropriation. According to the letter, it's to provide for the additional operating needs of the division. Staff reached out and learned that this will be for reimbursement of instructor fees.
It's supported by general revenue and grant reimbursements. B6 is Public Safety Division of State Police. It's for $83,000. This is to rebuild the CDL facility that was destroyed by a tornado last May. It's supported by insurance proceeds and FEMA funds. Next item is B7. This is a letter from Public Safety Division of State Police. It's for $100,000 in appropriation. It's to purchase capital items, including a mobile fitness trailer. It's supported by both general and special revenues. mr chair that is the end of various temporary appropriation requests all right thank you billy

Representative R. Scott Richardson
Unverified
9:26
thank you for being here my question is is pretty pretty easy uh when i see safety vests and increase in leases can you give me more information of 450 000 for safety vests and and leases what was the exact increase in leases that you didn't foresee in your budget that you're asking for now so
Speaker 28
9:46
with leases all of our leases we look at and we work through dba
Speaker 29
9:51
with those leases uh we were going to request this last month and i know you guys were tired session so y'all didn't have a meeting last month so that's why it's coming before you this month in regards to our leases we have approximately 40 to 50 leases around the state of Arkansas for parole and probation we negotiate those leases every year every two years depending on the contract and sometimes the lessor asks for increase we review that in-house a lot of times that square footage we can't find that price anywhere so
Speaker 24
10:23
we sign that lease because it's a
cheaper deal and just over the years leases go up it's just a natural
Representative R. Scott Richardson
Unverified
10:31
part of it and how many safety vests are you expecting to purchase sir i mean
Speaker 33
10:37
i don't know the exact number they uh our safety vests have a five light five year warranty on them so as they come available we just replace them at that time actually we did secure a grant recently for we're getting 100 vests paid for through a safety grant so this is just to make up the difference
Speaker 37
10:57
about 500 officers so we replace around 500 vests when they expire are these when you say safety vests are
Representative R. Scott Richardson

is it's a mobile gym is what it is it's a fitness trailer and yes it's the whole purpose is to travel the state with it state police dps all the departments will
Representative Stetson Painter
Unverified
13:05
be will benefit from it okay uh follow up Mr. Chair, last question. How often does it travel to different districts in the rotation?
Speaker 53
13:13
So the plan for that is it will travel like on a monthly deal. The exception would be if there's like a particular incident or a training that's going on in a certain area. The other part of that is if there is a critical incident in a certain area. We're going to use that for a follow-up later after that incident to bring people together, work out, do, spend some time together. The whole wellness component is to get them comfortable working out together
and then try to spend time with any officers that may have an issue from that critical incident to use that as a break-in to get them to

Motion carries. We move to Section C. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Section C, these are American Rescue Plan Act appropriation requests. Special language requires agencies to request ARPA appropriation to spend federal funds awarded from the American Rescue Plan. The first item, C1, is a request from the University of Arkansas at Monticello. It's for $600,000, a spending authority. This is to support the Arkansas linking industry to grow nurses or ALIGN program, and that works to upskill lower-level professionals, expand apprenticeships,
increase educator recruitment and retention, expand clinical rotations, and much more. Specifically, these funds will address the budget deficit between the vocational center aid, That's based on the LPN enrollment and the fixed cost of offering the LPN program. These ARPA funds flow through the Office of Skills Development at the Department of Commerce, and that's from a $25 million state award that was made in fiscal year 24 for the LINE program. Next item, C2, is a request from the Department of Health. This is for just under a million in appropriation.
They have a grant from the CDC to support the ongoing lab operations and existing personnel at the Advanced Molecular Detection Sequencing Laboratory. Purchases include extended coverage for lab instruments, biosafety cabinets, lab sequencing kits, a refrigerator, a freezer, a centrifuge, and more supplies and PPE items. Mr. Chair, those are all of our requests. All right, thank you.

If I could have the university come down. if you could
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
16:09
just recognize yourself for the committee and then representative you're recognized for your question Thomas a favor I'm
Speaker 64
16:16
the director of budget for you a young thank you when
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
16:18
the ARPA funds go away what happens to this program i'm not sure at this time um i
Speaker 67
16:27
don't i don't know well then why are we asking for opera
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
16:34
funds for a program that we don't even know is sustainable
we believe it's sustainable well you just said that you didn't know what happens to it so how is it sustainable if
Speaker 64
16:45
you don't know how you're going to fund it because we've we've done a study there's a need in our area for this program for concurrent for high school students
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
16:55
to go into the pm program um that's all i know right now okay so i just want to make sure i understand this you're starting a program because there's
a need which i agree there is 110 need you're asking to use arpa funds for it you have no plan for when the ARPA funds run out, how to make this plan sustainable. Is that correct?
Speaker 64
17:20
So what I do know right now is on July 1, we're going to
Speaker 71
17:24
start the P.M. program, and with six students, they're going to start the program right now. We're going to start with College of Technology CrossFit and Seabec and Warren, and then we have a plan to extend that into McGee as well.
Okay, where's the funding coming for that? well right now this arpa agreement goes through 20 september 30
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
17:52
2026 what happens the program after that's what i'm asking is you're asking to use arpa funds for a short and it's only for a short period of time to start a program that does not appear to be sustainable and i'm trying to find out if you have a way to make it sustainable before we give ARPA funds to something that we know we're
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
18:11
throwing one-time money at. Yes, ma'am. If I can, just real quick, can we have the Commerce Department or DFA? This is, I think, a part of
that bigger grant program on nursing that was awarded. I mean, I would recommend maybe honing in a little bit better on the answers. But yeah, if you're
Speaker 80
18:38
able to help, that'd be great. Jim Hudson, Secretary DFA. These are the Align grants that, you know, $25 million that was
distributed amongst many different institutions. As I understand it, the funding is about startup costs, so helping them to be able to establish it, you know, put those courses in place, and then they would run it through the normal institution process, charging tuition fees for the students that are in that. These are one-time expenses that we're talking about. And so they would not be ongoing expenses after the funding goes away.
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
19:10
Okay, so after the initial funding goes away,
are we saying that they're going to have enough tuition to pay for the
Speaker 80
19:23
program? That is for them to answer. The way the program is designed through the grant was to get them their one-time cost to start it up and then after that not look to the state to continue to fund the cost of that but to run it through the normal tuition and fees, and they'll need to speak to whether or not they have a plan to get that established. But the purpose of the grant was strictly one-time expenses.
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
19:45
Okay. In the grant process? Yes, ma'am. Did you look at sustainability of the programs before
Speaker 80
19:54
you gave out grants? The scoring process would have been an OSD process, so I'll let them speak to that. But, again, it's not sustainability in terms of the funding from ARPA. that is point in time strictly for the startup costs and I
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
20:07
agree but I mean you know where I'm at if we're giving one-time money but they can't sustain the program then we're just giving them
money for a short period of time that's not going to be able to be utilized that might be able to
utilize somewhere else that's sustainable that's what I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 80
20:24
yes ma'am so these aligned grants have been awarded to multiple institutions not just a UAM yes in terms of scoring ost scoring on that i'll have to defer to them as to what they took into account on that i can't speak to
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
20:35
that okay thank you sir you said you had six students at this
Speaker 64
20:41
one point for one campus yes ma'am okay
Representative Frances Cavenaugh
Unverified
20:44
how many students are you going to have to have to make the program sustainable
Speaker 74
20:48
i don't have those numbers in front of me but i can
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
21:00
get them to you if you want to see them okay Thank you. Senator Hickey, you recognize the request. Thank you, Senator
Dismang. I was going to ask this of both of the ARPA grants because, of course, we've kind of started down this road. I see that they, at least from your alls, and Jim, you can try to answer this, although I think it's more for him, as you've said. So you're showing that you have $385,000 for salaries.
and i believe representative kevin always was bouncing around this so when this goes away we're going to pay for this for this with this one-time funds where are you going to pay for those 385 thousand dollars in salaries when this goes away are you do you have that in your budget now or or where is
that money going to come from through our tuition and fees yes sir okay and if it's not there the program
itself goes away correct yes sir i would believe so okay
you're not planning on coming back for the state to try to get an additional 385 000 but let me ask you this you are going to have to have that 385 000 worth of salaries for the program content to continue those are just not costs that are just one time correct that's correct yes sir okay but you only got six students so i mean
there's no way in the world well that's just six students who have
Speaker 71
22:19
already signed up right now we are right now we are proactively training the juniors in high school to be ready for this program in the coming years
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
22:26
so we do believe this will sustain itself so we got six hundred thousand dollars basically a hundred thousand dollars a student for this program what's the capital outlay of 178 000
Speaker 93
22:44
what's that for yes it's to get the classroom set up for the equipment for the classrooms okay what type of equipment would that
Speaker 71
22:50
be computers smart boards any kind of equipment they need for that program all right thank you
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
22:57
all right thank you senator Gilmore you recognized for
Senator Ben Gilmore
Unverified
23:03
a question thank you and I think this is more to the chair. Um, but can we make sure we have this information before Friday? Because I think that, you know, it would be behoove the university to provide what this looks like to the members. And, uh, so I would make that
Senator Jonathan Dismang
Unverified
23:20
request through the chair. I think you've heard the questions. Questions are about sustainability of the program. After you get this initial bump, I'm assuming we probably should have asked these same questions to every entity
that's come up and received the funding so far. Uh, but again, If you can have that, make sure that you
Speaker 103
23:35
get it to staff, and they'll get it out to the members. Mr. Chair, we'll make sure OSD is here on Friday as well, in case there are any questions for
Speaker 105
23:45
the scoring. All right, thank you. Okay. All right, Senator Love. Thank you,
Senator Fredrick J. Love
Unverified
23:51
Mr. Chair. I just want to go back. Remind me of the intent, and this is not to the university, this is to DFNA. Remind me of the intent of the Align Grant.
Speaker 109
24:00
Well, it's really workforce development. and to ensure that, you know, we, again, providing seed capital throughout the state for, you know, critical workforce development needs like nursing to help the institutions, you know, offer these programs to meet critical staffing needs that we have in, you know, key industries around Arkansas.
Senator Fredrick J. Love
Unverified
24:20
And so in this instance, UAM was awarded grant. How many aligned grants have we given out thus far? you know it's probably a dozen
Speaker 109
24:33
to a couple of dozen we can get the specific information
i mean all the all the grants have come to alc every single time that we've awarded them for review and
Senator Fredrick J. Love

Donna Adams, Chief of Staff, Health Department.
Don Adams
Unverified
26:48
Senator, this supplemental funding is part of a much larger grant. The ELC grant is the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity Grant that helps fund our lab. So this lab existed before this supplemental grant, and so we are temporarily putting some expenses onto this grant and then once the money goes away we will put it back on the ELC core grant we will not be asking the state for more money to supplement these efforts okay thank you

We'll move to D2. D2 is a request from Public Safety Division of Emergency Management. This is for zero dollars in appropriation. It's a reallocation of previously awarded appropriation for the hazardous material emergency preparedness grant. Various line items are transferring spending authority to operating expenses, conference and travel, and capital outlay. The adjustments will allow the agency to provide
additional trainings, purchase a context box, and supplies. Mr. Chair, those are all the IIJA requests. All right, thank you members we

Who would y'all like to come up? All right. And
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
29:43
if you could, just recognize yourself for the committee, and then Senator Hickey, you're recognized for a
Speaker 121
29:51
question. Good morning. Clint O'Neill, Executive Director, AEDC. hello jennifer emerson
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
29:55
deputy director aedc right so we've got this just specific number here 15 million dollars so i assume you already have exactly what projects those are going to go
Speaker 124
30:03
to no sir the application cycle will run from today until july 31st and then we'll have an internal review committee that will help us guide these decisions before we bring them back to alc okay so you will you
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
30:18
will bring each and every one of them back before ALC well that would that require
approval of us or is it just a review or do you know
Speaker 121
30:31
yes sir there that's a review that's required prior to award just
Speaker 93
30:36
question of staff does that come before peer or senator that
William Parrish
Unverified
30:43
would become before the review section if we're talking about grants uh that for discretionary uh purposes yes that'll be in the review section okay
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
30:50
but each and each one of them individually will come come before them is it is this the appropriate way that we normally do this we normally come
Speaker 57
30:59
through through peer to to get this first um
William Parrish
Unverified
31:02
yes sir so they have to come to peer to get a transfer from the restricted reserve fund
they already have appropriation in their operations bill that was passed in the last section and uh last session in uh act 608 so the next step if they have the money transferred is that they will have to make the grants and those grants will come before the review subcommittee in future uh months okay and then the
Senator Jimmy Hickey, Jr
Unverified
31:23
and then before full alc of course on yes sir all right i'm good with it with that with
Speaker 6
31:29
that part thank you thank you all right thank you senator love thank
Senator Fredrick J. Love
Unverified
31:34
you mr chair i think um i think i'm i'm pretty good i was on the line of senator hickey as far as clinton
Now, you all do provide a list of the projects that are funded afterwards? Yes, sir. Because what I'm more interested in is kind of sort of like a heat map to show kind of where these projects are funded to ensure that, you know, they're at least dispersed around the state. I mean, I know that all things are not equal, but I want to make sure that, you know, if we could get a heat map to show where these projects are funded. Because this is an annual – is this not an annual program?
Speaker 124
32:10
So this is a little different. If I could speak to the heat map. It's a great question. The community assistance grant program has been around in structure with a much smaller funding amount. And so those were grant opportunities for cities and counties. This is a program by the same name that has the same eligibility plus allows nonprofit organizations that serve in some of these key target areas. So I think with a heat map, we would want to do what we have the ability to do with the cities and counties,
plus the service areas of the nonprofit organizations, if that's what you're looking for.
Senator Fredrick J. Love
Unverified
32:47
Yeah, that's what I would like, because it just shows kind of where you're funding, what kind of projects we have. So if we can get that, I'd appreciate it. Yes, sir. All right. Thank you.

Chairman. Clint, how will your department get this information out? In other words, how will the communities and nonprofits learn about the availability of these grants?
Speaker 124
33:15
So great question. Something we've really been working hard to gear up for the last few weeks, knowing that we wanted to launch this program today. So upon favorable conversation this morning, we have an email that we're ready to blast out to our community contacts. So an email database of a few hundred local economic developers, local elected officials, driving them to a landing page that has, you know, FAQs and the application document. Additionally, tomorrow kicks off our annual Arkansas Rural Development Conference, where we'll have several hundred attendees, and this will be a big topic promoting this as an opportunity.
