Current law allows
the Legislature to terminate a state of emergency by joint resolution at any
time. The bill requires a 2/3 vote of
the Legislature in order for the Governor to extend a state of emergency. The Legislature’s baseline budget for
2022-2023 includes funds for the Legislature to meet in special session on 2
days each fiscal year following the applicable statutory deadline. Whether or not there are sufficient funds
to cover the cost of holding a special session for the purpose of extending a
state of emergency will depend on the number of times the Legislature is
required to convene in special session during the interim. |
