HB1463 amends the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act to modify disaster proclamation procedures.

HB1463 amends the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act to change the process for extending or making additional disaster proclamations. If the Governor extends or makes an additional proclamation, it will be void unless approved by three legislative leaders or the General Assembly within five days. The bill also raises the threshold for just compensation proceedings from $1,000 to $25,000. If the owner accepts less than $25,000, the State Treasurer must pay the owner from appropriated funds. The Governor retains emergency powers for up to 30 days after a disaster proclamation.
