3   SECTION 5. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds

14  SECTION 6. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General

18 Recommendations and Legislative Recommendations contained in the budget

20 summarized oral testimony in the official minutes of the Arkansas Legislative

21 Council or Joint Budget Committee which relate to its passage and adoption.

22

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

30 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental

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

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

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