Bill Summary

DISASTER DECLARATIONS -- States findings of the Legislature and provides that the state of disaster emergency declared by the Governor is now ended.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution formally ends the state of disaster emergency that had been in effect in Idaho since March 13, 2020, a period exceeding 300 days. The resolution acknowledges that the Governor of Idaho has the authority to declare and extend such emergencies, but also that these orders cannot infringe upon the constitutional rights of citizens. It highlights that the Idaho Legislature has the power to terminate an emergency declaration at any time through a concurrent resolution, which is the action being taken here. The resolution also references findings that initial projections for COVID-19 death rates were overestimated and that administrative actions taken during the emergency have significantly disrupted the lives and livelihoods of Idahoans, underscoring the legislature's decision to end the declared emergency.
