Minnesota HF4011 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the governor to declare a peacetime emergency. The governor can declare such an emergency when situations like natural disasters, technological failures, terrorist incidents, cyber attacks, industrial accidents, hazardous materials accidents, or civil disturbances endanger life and property. The governor must notify legislative leaders and consult with tribal authorities if the emergency occurs on Indian lands. The emergency can last up to seven days, extendable by the legislature.
