SECTION 5. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 3
authorized by this act shall be limited to the appropriation for such agency 4
and funds made available by law for the support of such appropriations; and 5
the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 6
Budgetary Procedures Law, the Revenue Stabilization Law, the Regular Salary 7
Procedures and Restrictions Act, the Higher Education Expenditure Restriction 8
Act, or their successors, and other fiscal control laws of this State, where 9
applicable, and regulations promulgated by the Department of Finance and 10
Administration, as authorized by law, shall be strictly complied with in 11

13
SECTION 6. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 14
Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 15
contained in this act shall be in compliance with the stated reasons for 16
which this act was adopted, as evidenced by the Agency Requests, Executive 17
Recommendations and Legislative Recommendations contained in the budget 18
manuals prepared by the Department of Finance and Administration, letters, or 19
summarized oral testimony in the official minutes of the Arkansas Legislative 20
Council or Joint Budget Committee which relate to its passage and adoption. 21
22
SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 23
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 24
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 25
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 26
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 27
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 28
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 29
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 30
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 31
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 32
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 33
