Summary

SUPPORT

 

Would automatically terminate any governor-declared state of emergency after 90 days unless the Legislature votes to extend it, while also clarifying that emergency powers cannot be used to create or amend state law. The bill is a direct response to the COVID-19 emergency, during which the governor exercised broad, largely unchecked authority for nearly three years, and aims to restore legislative oversight and separation of powers.
