SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 14
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 15
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 16
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 17
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 18
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 19
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 20
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 21
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 22
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 23
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 24
