effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 16
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 17
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 18
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 19
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 20
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 21
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 22
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 23
