SECTION 4. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 26
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 27
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 28
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 29
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 30
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 31
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 32
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 33
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 34
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 35
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 36
