6-61-210. Allocation of additional state funds.

(a) The Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board is authorized and directed to establish criteria and standards for the allocation of additional state funds provided for such purposes to state-supported institutions of higher learning experiencing enrollment increases greater than were anticipated at the time the board prepared its budget recommendations for allocations of funds to the respective institutions prior to each regular session and fiscal session.

(b) (1) The criteria and standards shall be applicable to all state-supported institutions of higher learning experiencing enrollment growth.

(2) However, with respect to the State Medical Center, the board shall develop criteria and standards for measuring and determining the additional financial support required, within the limitation of funds provided therefor, because of unusual factors which create additional spending responsibilities of the State Medical Center.

(c) The criteria and standards developed by the board for allocating additional financial support to state-supported institutions of higher learning from moneys provided therefor shall be subject to review and approval of the Governor, and the amount to be allocated to each institution shall be upon certification and approval by the Governor.
