SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 33
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 34

effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 36 HB1230
9 01/27/2025 9:04:35 AM HAR008
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 1
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 2
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 3
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 4
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 5
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 6
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 7
