The Arkansas Senate on Tuesday approved an appropriation for fiscal session expenses for the House for the fiscal year that ends June 30.

The Senate voted 34-0 to send House Bill 1001 to the governor.

The bill includes $803,330 for maintenance, operations and expenses; $100,000 for salaries of employees; and $28,500 for personal services matching.

Last week, state Rep. Carlton Wing, R-North Little Rock, said the bill allows for fiscal session expenses and hasn’t changed from a similar bill a year ago.
