Procedures and requirements for orders and rules promulgated during a peacetime emergency modified.
HF 395 modifies Minnesota's procedures for emergency orders issued during a peacetime emergency. It requires the governor to consult with affected organizations before issuing orders/rules 10+ days after an emergency declaration, provide at least 7 days of public notice before implementation (unless the Legislative Coordinating Commission approves an earlier date), and prohibits forcing private individuals or businesses to enforce orders without consent. Emergency orders expire after 30 days unless both legislative houses approve an extension, and they automatically end if the emergency concludes. This bill directly affects the governor's authority to issue emergency rules and the obligations of businesses and individuals subject to those rules.
