Bill Summary
AN ACT Relating to requiring legislative approval to extend a gubernatorial proclamation of a state of emergency; and amending RCW 43.06.210.
AI Summary
This bill amends RCW 43.06.210 to require legislative approval to extend a gubernatorial proclamation of a state of emergency beyond 30 days. Specifically, the bill states that a state of emergency proclamation will terminate either when the governor declares it terminated or 30 days after it is signed, unless the legislature extends it by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. If the legislature is not in session, the legislative leadership can extend the proclamation in writing until the legislature can act. This bill aims to give the legislature a role in prolonging a state of emergency declaration beyond the initial 30-day period.
