the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 4

effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 6
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 7
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 8
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 9
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 10
