SECTION 12. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS. Disbursement of funds 12

the restrictions of the State Procurement Law, the General Accounting and 15

SECTION 13. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the General 23

SECTION 14. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the 32
General Assembly, that the Constitution of the State of Arkansas prohibits 33
the appropriation of funds for more than a one (1) year period; that the 34
effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2026 is essential to the operation of 35
the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in 36
SB45
20 03/30/2026 12:30:03 PM HAR097
the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the 1
effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2026 could work irreparable harm 2
upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental 3
programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act 4
being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health 5
and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after July 1, 2026. 6
