AN ACT REQUIRING THE LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL OF CERTAIN EXECUTIVE ORDERS ISSUED WHILE THE LEGISLATURE IS IN SESSION.

SB 137 requires the state legislature to vote on approving or rejecting certain emergency executive orders within 30 days if the legislature is in session. It specifically applies to orders issued by the Governor under public health or civil preparedness emergency declarations. Unapproved orders would automatically expire after the 30-day window, ensuring legislative oversight for these types of emergency actions. This bill directly affects the Governor's authority to issue such orders during active legislative sessions.
