21-5-218. Reimbursement for interpreter services for deaf.
Whereas the Arkansas Rehabilitation Services of the Department of Workforce Education currently purchases and sells staff interpreter services for the deaf with four (4) other agencies, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the Arkansas School for the Deaf, and the Administrative Office of the Courts and whereas the need for interpreters is immediate and often for crisis purposes and cannot be planned ahead, the Department of Workforce Education is authorized to arrange for reimbursement with those agencies, assuring that the amount paid from both agencies will not exceed the maximum for the grades they occupy consistent with the intent of 19-4-1604, with notification and justification to the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State.
