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

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

10 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental

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

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

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