SECTION 4. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 1
authorized by this act shall be limited to the appropriation for such agency 2

the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 4

SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 11
Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 12

SECTION 6. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 20
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 21
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 22
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 23
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 24
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 25
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 26
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 27
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 28
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 29
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 30
