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

11 effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2025 could work irreparable harm
12 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental
13 programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act
14 being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health
15 and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2025.
