Arkansas has enacted the General Appropriation Act (HB1002) for fiscal years 2026-2027, establishing the state's operating budget for the 95th General Assembly. The bill provides funding authorizations for state government operations, public education, healthcare programs, criminal justice, and other state-funded services.
