Bill Summary
This bill clarifies the authority of the executive branch under the emergency management act to determine that personnel critical to preserving and protecting the State's financial assets and resources, and State revenue generating activities that are licensed by the State are essential employees during a state of emergency or when the State fails to meet its constitutional obligation to enact a State budget act for a fiscal year. This bill ensures that, in the event of a state of emergency or a State government shutdown, State personnel that are critical to preserving and protecting the State's financial assets, resources, and revenue generating operations that are licensed by the State will continue to work. This will ensure that all tax liabilities that arise from State licensed activities will be appropriately collected and safeguarded. This bill will avoid uncertainties concerning the continued operation of such activities and ensure that State revenue collections essential to reestablishing the functioning of State government at the conclusion of a state of emergency or any budget impasse will be fully functioning.
AI Summary
This bill ensures that state employees crucial to managing the state's finances, protecting its assets and resources, and operating revenue-generating activities licensed by the state will continue to work during a declared state of emergency or a government shutdown caused by a failure to pass a budget. The heads of each department, agency, and commission will identify these essential employees, who will then be required to report to work and carry out their duties as directed, thereby guaranteeing the continued collection and safeguarding of tax liabilities from licensed activities and preventing disruptions to state revenue essential for government operations.
