SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 21
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 22
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 23
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 24
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 25
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 26
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 27
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 28
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 29
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 30
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 31
