The bill declares an emergency, which allows Section 1 to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, while Section 2 will take effect on July 1, 2026. This legislative action aims to ensure that the Legislature has the necessary funds and flexibility to manage its operations effectively during the specified fiscal periods.
