H.B. 215 21 of the 122nd General Assembly, the General Assembly shall have 22 until February 4, 1998, to develop a plan to provide itemized 24 appropriations for the Department of Education for fiscal year 1999. Section 2. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency 26 measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 27 peace, health, and safety.
