Amends South Carolina law to limit the duration of emergency proclamations and declarations of emergency.
The Emergency Order Balance of Powers Act amends South Carolina law to set a maximum duration for emergency proclamations and declarations of emergency. A state of emergency cannot last more than fifteen days without General Assembly consent, and must terminate earlier if specified by the Governor, General Assembly, or if the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House deem it impractical to convene. The act also outlines procedures for handling vacancies in key legislative leadership roles.
