Florida H0621 amends emergency management rules, limiting emergency declarations and requiring audits.

Florida H0621 revises the state's emergency management protocols. It mandates that any state of emergency declared by the Governor must not exceed 60 days unless renewed, with a maximum duration of one year. The Legislature can extend an emergency beyond one year, but not past the next regular session. The bill also requires the Auditor General to perform a financial audit of emergency expenditures and a compliance audit of contracts if an emergency lasts over a year, updating these audits quarterly.
