Assembly that any funds disbursed under the authority of the appropriations 1

SECTION 5. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General 9
Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits the 10
appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 11
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 12
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 13
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 14
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 15
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 16
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 17
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 18
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 19
