Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 20
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 21
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of 22
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 23
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 24
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 25
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 26
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 27
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 28
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 29
