Committee approves $50 million appropriation for water and sewer treatment grants
Summary
The committee passed an appropriation-only item to fund the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission's water-and-sewer treatment grant program, allocating $50 million.
Senator Bridal presented House Bill 16‑49, an appropriation‑only measure that would provide $50,000,000 to the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission for the water and sewer treatment grant facilities program.
Bridal described the item as an appropriation in association with House Bill 16‑81 and confirmed the $50 million figure to the committee. A senator asked whether the funding was related to a proposed prison project; Bridal replied it was not.
Committee members then moved to a voice vote. The motion to pass House Bill 16‑49 carried without recorded opposition in the committee. The chair announced, “Motion carries. House bill 16 49 is passed.”
No amendments to the appropriation were offered during the committee floor discussion. The committee proceeded to consider other budget items after passage.
