AI Summary
This bill aims to increase legislative involvement in gubernatorial proclamations related to a state of emergency. It amends existing laws to allow the legislature to terminate a state of emergency through a concurrent resolution, or if the legislature is not in session, through a written agreement by the four legislative leaders. The bill also limits the duration of a state of emergency to 60 days, unless extended by the legislature. Additionally, it requires the governor to provide more notice to legislative leadership and local governments when issuing certain orders during a state of emergency. The bill also establishes penalties for willfully violating orders issued by the governor during a state of emergency.
