SECTION 5. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 4

the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 7

SECTION 6. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 15

SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 24
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 25
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 26
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 27
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 28
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 29
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 30
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 31
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 32
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 33
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 34
