32 the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the
33 effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2023 could work irreparable harm
34 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental
35 programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act
36 being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health
