19-10-214. Effect on liens.
(a) Arkansas State Claims Commission awards are state property and therefore liens may not attach to commission awards, nor may an award be assigned.
(b) If the commission and the General Assembly approve appeals or claims above seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) and name as payees, in addition to the claimant, other individuals or entities who would normally have liens in a court of law, other than insurance company claims for subrogation, then the commission may deposit the amount approved in the registry of the Pulaski County Circuit Court. After reasonable notice to the claimant and any named payees, the court shall establish the validity and priority to the moneys upon petition of the claimant or any named payee.
