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