effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 35
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 36 HB1233
10 01/27/2025 10:12:29 AM HAR024
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 1
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 2
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 3
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 4
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 5
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 6
