Tennessee HB0132 amends emergency management powers of the governor, limiting emergency duration and requiring legislative oversight.
Tennessee HB0132 amends the state's emergency management laws by limiting the duration of a state of emergency to thirty days unless extended by the general assembly or an ad hoc legislative council. The bill also prohibits the governor from issuing any executive order or proclamation that would violate citizens' rights under the Tennessee or U.S. Constitutions. If the general assembly is not in session, an ad hoc legislative council is established to manage the emergency. This act applies to emergencies declared after its effective date.
