Bill Summary

Relating to: terminating the COVID-19 public health emergency, including all emergency orders and actions taken pursuant to declaration of the public health emergency.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution formally terminates Executive Order #104, issued on January 19, 2021, which declared a public health emergency related to COVID-19, and revokes any subsequent actions or orders by the governor that relied on this executive order or specific state statutes (sections 323.10 and 323.12) for their authority. The resolution asserts that the governor lacked the authority to issue Executive Order #104, deeming it void from its inception, and emphasizes the legislature's role in overseeing and extending such emergency declarations, referencing previous executive orders and a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision to support its position on the limitations of gubernatorial power during a public health emergency.
