24          SECTION 4. EMERGENCY CLAUSE.   It is found and determined by the General

26   the Henderson State University are, due to unforeseen circumstances,
27   insufficient for the Henderson State University to continue to provide
28   essential governmental services; that the provisions of this act will provide
29   the necessary monies for the Henderson State University to continue such
30   services; and that a delay in the effective date of this Act could work
31   irreparable harm upon the proper administration and provision of essential
32   governmental programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist
33   and this Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
34   peace, health and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after the
35   date of its passage and approval.

 1   become effective on the expiration of the period of time during which the
 2   Governor may veto the bill.   If the bill is vetoed by the Governor and the
 3   veto is overridden, it shall become effective on the date the last house
 4   overrides the veto.
