SECTION 2. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 2
authorized by this act shall be limited to the appropriation for such agency 3

the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 5
Budgetary Procedures Law, the Revenue Stabilization Law, the Regular Salary 6

SECTION 3. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 12
Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 13
contained in this act shall be in compliance with the stated reasons for 14
which this act was adopted, as evidenced by the Agency Requests, Executive 15

SECTION 4. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 21
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 22
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 23
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 24
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 25
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 26
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 27
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 28
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 29
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 30
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 31
