4 01/14/2025 8:31:08 AM WFP014
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 1
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm 2
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 3
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 4
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 5
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025. 6
