17 SECTION 4. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. It is found and determined by the General
18 Assembly, that funds provided by the General Assembly for the operations of
19 the Northwest Arkansas Community College are, due to unforeseen
20 circumstances, insufficient for the Northwest Arkansas Community College to
21 continue to provide essential governmental services; that the provisions of
22 this act will provide the necessary monies for the Northwest Arkansas
23 Community College to continue such services; and that a delay in the
24 effective date of this Act could work irreparable harm upon the proper
25 administration and provision of essential governmental programs. Therefore,
26 an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act being necessary for the
27 immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety shall be in
28 full force and effect from and after the date of its passage and approval.
29 If the bill is neither approved nor vetoed by the Governor, it shall
