Governor - As enacted, authorizes, if the governor issues or extends an executive order or proclamation of a state of emergency, the general assembly to terminate such state of emergency by joint resolution of both houses. - Amends TCA Section 58-2-107.

HB 132 amends Tennessee law to require that governor-declared emergencies must not violate constitutional rights and to give the General Assembly the power to terminate or extend such emergencies through a joint resolution. If the legislature is not in session, a special legislative council composed of top leaders from both chambers can extend the emergency for up to 30 days by majority vote. The bill also limits the maximum duration of any emergency to 30 days without renewal by the legislature or the council. These changes directly affect how state emergencies are managed, ensuring legislative oversight and constitutional compliance.
