Summary:
The PEER Review Subcommittee met to consider a large set of appropriation, transfer, contract, and grant requests. Early items included temporary appropriations for the Auditor of State, Department of Education, and Labor and Licensing divisions; ARPA returns from Workforce Services; infrastructure grants for State Police CDL implementation and a Pope County wildlife protection plan; restricted reserve transfers for teacher scholarships, school facilities, and economic stimulus; and a Commerce reallocation shifting positions and $2 million in spending authority to support organizational realignment and avoid salary and match shortfalls. All of those items were approved without objection.
Members asked several questions on specific requests. The Commerce site infrastructure grant was described as funding due diligence, environmental studies, and build-out for 30-plus-acre industrial sites, including rural communities, with matching requirements and grant agreements in place. A DHS RSVP grant item was held after concerns about state funding for volunteer stipends and administrative costs; the agency was asked to provide more information before the next meeting. In the contract section, members questioned a DHS sole-source contract for EMS Link, Inc. and a DHS Medicaid inspections-of-care bridge contract, both of which were held for further review or additional information. A Department of Education mental health referral contract with Care Solace drew questions about how the service works, whether Arkansas providers are used, and how schools and parents are involved; the agency explained it is a referral and follow-up service available to all districts and charter schools, and the item was allowed to proceed.
The committee also reviewed numerous higher education construction methods of finance, agriculture promotion board grants, DHS intergovernmental and in-state contracts, and monthly reports. Questions were raised about the Arkansas Medicaid Trust Fund balance and the need to define a minimum reserve level; DFA and DHS said the fund remains adequate for the current fiscal year, though it is being drawn down and may require future restricted reserve transfers. The meeting ended with no further objections and the subcommittee adjourned.

Summary:
The committee considered a series of bills largely focused on reappropriating and closing out ARPA-related funds, transferring interest earnings, and filling funding gaps in existing state projects. Measures included funding for the Health Care Workforce Training Commission, juvenile services in Rogers County, rural hospital rebuild projects, DHS-related projects for Boys and Girls Clubs and the YWCA, water and wastewater projects through the OWRB, ALS grant limits for OSDH, pandemic relief accounting, administrative costs for ARPA projects, pediatric cardiology and OSU-related projects, rural industrial park and port water/wastewater gaps, and emergency response grants through the Department of Emergency Management. Most of these bills were presented by Rep. Newton, Chairman Caldwell, Speaker Hilbert, Rep. Osborne, Rep. Hill, and others, with committee substitutes adopted without objection where noted.
One bill, House Bill 4028, drew the most discussion. It would extend the sunset on the qualified equity investment deduction for venture capital investments. Members questioned the lack of program-specific evaluation data, including return on investment, jobs created, and how much of the tax deduction had actually been used. The sponsor said the program had helped grow Oklahoma venture capital and that he would seek better data, but argued the sunset should be extended for now. The bill passed 23-6.
Another extended exchange centered on House Bill 4063, which combined measures related to placing state questions on the August ballot, including HJR 1024 and a bill tied to House Bill 1440. Members raised concerns about single-subject issues, ballot timing, voter turnout, and whether combining the measures limited legislators’ options. The Speaker defended the approach as election-related and noted prior precedent. The bill passed 23-6. The remaining bills were approved overwhelmingly, generally by votes of 27-0, 28-0, or 29-0, and were reported out with due pass recommendations before the meeting adjourned.

Summary:
The Joint Committee on Appropriations and Budget met and first took up House Bill 4063, adopting a committee substitute over objection by a 17-4 roll call vote. The bill, as explained by the Pro Tem, moves the election dates for House Bill 4440 and Joint Resolution 1024 to August 25, 2026. Members debated whether the measure violated the single-subject rule or was an attempt to revisit proposals that had previously failed, but the committee advanced it and it passed 16-6 after debate.
The committee then considered a series of appropriations and reappropriations, largely involving ARPA and interest funds. These included Senate Bills 1130 through 1134 and 1142, which redirected funds to the University Hospital Authority and Trust, the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the State Department of Health for rural hospital rebuild efforts, the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services for Griffin Memorial Hospital capacity, and DHS-related projects including Boys & Girls Club and YWCA funding. All of these bills passed, with most receiving broad support and only a few dissenting votes.
Members also advanced several House bills: HB 4029 appropriated funds to the State Department of Health and the ALS fund; HB 4074 gave the Health Care Workforce Training Commission flexibility to close out ARPA projects and transfer funds among nursing-related programs; HB 4075 reappropriated water and wastewater funds within OWRB; HB 476 provided rural economic impact grant funding for water, wastewater, sewer, air park, industrial park, and broadband-related projects; HB 477 funded emergency response and relief grants with standard administrative language; HB 478 covered ARPA closeout costs for consultants and the grants management office; HB 428 extended a qualified equity investment tax deduction sunset; and HB 473 and HB 4073 pulled back ARPA funds for reappropriation and closeout. Most measures passed on strong roll-call votes, and the committee adjourned after HB 4073 passed 21-0.
