SECTION 6. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 3
Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 4
contained in this act shall be in compliance with the stated reasons for 5
which this act was adopted, as evidenced by the Agency Requests, Executive 6
Recommendations and Legislative Recommendations contained in the budget 7

summarized oral testimony in the official minutes of the Arkansas Legislative 9

SECTION 7. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 12
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 13
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 14
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 15
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 16
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 17
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 18
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 19
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 20
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 21
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 22
