    9 otherwise provided by the General Assembly for Maintenance and General
    10 Operations of the agency or institutions receiving appropriation herein shall
    11 not be used for any of the purposes as appropriated in this act.
    12 (B) The restrictions of any applicable provisions of the State Purchasing

    14 Stabilization Law and any other applicable fiscal control laws of this State
    15 and regulations promulgated by the Department of Finance and Administration,

    31 effectiveness of this Act on July 1, 2010 is essential to the operation of
    32 the agency for which the appropriations in this Act are provided, and that in
    33 the event of an extension of the legislative session, the delay in the
    34 effective date of this Act beyond July 1, 2010 could work irreparable harm
    35 upon the proper administration and provision of essential governmental
    36 programs. Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist and this Act
