736735 SECTION 17. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the 11
737736 General Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits 12
738737 the appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 13
739738 effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 14
740739 the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 15
741740 the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 16
742741 effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 17
743742 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 18
744743 programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 19
745744 being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 20
746745 and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 21
