Limits to 30 days effective period of certain emergency orders, rules, or regulations.

This bill (A 2978) limits emergency orders, rules, or regulations issued by New Jersey's Governor under the Civil Defense Act to a 31-day period unless the Legislature approves an extension with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. It prevents the Governor from issuing identical or substantially similar orders for the same emergency after one expires. Exceptions include orders rescinding prior rules, federal compliance needs, executive branch directives, military commands, or orders under other laws allowing longer terms. The bill aims to ensure legislative oversight of emergency powers while allowing flexibility for critical state and federal coordination.
