SECTION 4. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 31
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 32
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 33
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 34
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 35
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 36
HB1095
3 04/14/2026 2:03:26 PM LCW085
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 1
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 2
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 3
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 4
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 5
