Natural Resources Commission Bond Measure

Arkansas · November 3, 2026

Authorize the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission to issue up to $500 million in general obligation bonds to fund water-related infrastructure projects including water treatment and transportation, waste disposal, pollution abatement, drainage, irrigation, flood control, and wetlands and aquatic resources infrastructure

A yes vote means Arkansas can borrow up to $500 million to fund water infrastructure projects across the state.
A no vote means Arkansas cannot issue these bonds and won't have this funding available for water-related infrastructure projects.
Simple explanation
Think of this like getting a loan to fix up your house's plumbing and water systems. Arkansas wants to borrow up to $500 million to pay for projects that deal with water — things like cleaning it up, moving it where it's needed, preventing floods, and protecting wetlands. Like any loan, the state would need to pay this money back over time.
