Bill Summary
This bill provides that any order, rule, or regulation issued by the Governor pursuant to the "Civil Defense and Disaster Control Act" will terminate on the 15th day after issuance, unless the Legislature approves a greater period of time by way of concurrent resolution. The bill prohibits the Governor from issuing an order, rule, or regulation to the same or substantially same effect as one terminated pursuant to the bill for the same emergency. The bill does not apply to orders, rules, or regulations: (1) rescinding an order, rule, or regulation issued pursuant to the "Civil Defense and Disaster Control Act"; (2) issued pursuant to direction by or agreement with the federal government, in compliance with federal law, or to the extent that application of the bill would jeopardize the receipt of federal funds by the State; (3) applying exclusively to the executive branch; (4) issued under the Governor's authority as the Commander-in-Chief of the military and naval forces of the State; or (5) issued pursuant to a provision of law providing for a greater period, notwithstanding that the order, rule, or regulation may also cite to an authority provided under the "Civil Defense and Disaster Control Act."
AI Summary
This bill provides that any emergency order, rule, or regulation issued by the Governor under the "Civil Defense and Disaster Control Act" will terminate 15 days after issuance, unless the Legislature approves a longer period through a concurrent resolution. The Governor is prohibited from issuing a substantially similar order for the same emergency once the initial order is terminated. The bill includes exceptions for orders that rescind previous orders, comply with federal law, apply only to the executive branch, are issued by the Governor as Commander-in-Chief, or are issued under a law that provides a longer effective period.
