7   SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General

8 Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the

9 appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the

10 effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2025 is essential to the operation of

11 the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in

12 the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the

13 effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm

14 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental

15 programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act

16 being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health

17 and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025.
