Legislative approval requirement for approval to extend a declared emergency beyond five days; legislative enactment requirement before certain executive orders and rules may have the force and effect of law

SF 454 requires Minnesota's legislature to approve any extension of a declared emergency beyond five days. It also mandates that certain executive orders and rules must be enacted by the legislature to have legal force, rather than taking effect automatically. The bill directly affects governors, legislators, and citizens by limiting executive emergency powers and requiring legislative oversight. Key provisions include defining "public health emergency" and "bioterrorism" while adding a 5-day limit on emergency declarations without legislative approval. These changes aim to strengthen legislative checks on emergency authority.
