SECTION 5. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 36 SB107
8 01/27/2025 10:17:08 AM HAR023
authorized by this act shall be limited to the appropriation for such agency 1
and funds made available by law for the support of such appropriations; and 2
the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 3
Budgetary Procedures Law, the Revenue Stabilization Law, the Regular Salary 4
Procedures and Restrictions Act, the Higher Education Expenditure Restriction 5
Act, or their successors, and other fiscal control laws of this State, where 6
applicable, and regulations promulgated by the Department of Finance and 7
Administration, as authorized by law, shall be strictly complied with in 8
disbursement of said funds. 9
10
SECTION 6. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 11
Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 12
contained in this act shall be in compliance with the stated reasons for 13
which this act was adopted, as evidenced by the Agency Requests, Executive 14
Recommendations and Legislative Recommendations contained in the budget 15
manuals prepared by the Department of Finance and Administration, letters, or 16
summarized oral testimony in the official minutes of the Arkansas Legislative 17
Council or Joint Budget Committee which relate to its passage and adoption. 18
19
SECTION 7. 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
