Restores legislative checks on emergency declarations over forty-five days and limits governor's law suspension powers during state disasters.
This bill restores legislative checks and balances for emergency declarations exceeding forty-five days and limits the governor's power to suspend laws during a state disaster emergency. It ensures judicial due process rights for actions impairing fundamental constitutional rights and mandates a specification and explanation of which municipalities are affected by such suspensions. The governor can temporarily suspend specific laws if compliance would hinder disaster response, but suspensions cannot exceed thirty days unless extended by the legislature.
