In Arkansas acts passed by the legislature that don't declare an "emergency" take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends (usually in April) rather than immediately. This was designed to give time for a popular referendum to repeal legislative acts before they become law. Yes, the "emergency" clauses can get pretty comical.
