Legislators held budget hearings to scrutinize every spending category in state government, in preparation for the fiscal session that begins April 10.

Leading off the agenda was the presentation of a balanced budget for next fiscal year. Arkansas does not deficit spend, or borrow money to pay for state government operations. The director of the Department of Finance and Administration presented a proposed budget for Fiscal 2025 that will be about $8.2 billion in gross general revenues.
