Repeals governor's unilateral emergency powers in Minnesota, establishing a legislative process for emergency declarations and extensions.

The Unilateral Emergency Powers Repeal Act removes the governor's authority to unilaterally declare emergencies in Minnesota. It establishes a legislative process for emergency declarations, requiring a two-thirds vote of each house to declare an emergency. The governor can still declare a peacetime emergency, but it must be extended by the legislature if it exceeds 30 days. The bill also repeals the governor's authority to adopt orders and rules with the force of law during emergencies.
