Bill > HF556

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to require a three-fifths majority approval from both legislative bodies to extend a peacetime emergency declaration beyond 30 days, upon the governor's request. The bill specifies that the governor must submit a new request to the legislature each time an extension is needed, and the legislature can only extend the emergency by a three-fifths majority vote. The bill also states that this provision applies to peacetime emergencies in effect or declared on or after the effective date of the bill.
