SECTION 8. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 3
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 4
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 5
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 6
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 7
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 8
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 9
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 10
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 11
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 12
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 13
