AZ HB2545

Prohibits Arizona and its political subdivisions from enforcing, administering, or cooperating with public health emergency orders based on agreements or recommendations from international governmental organizations unless the order has been ratified as a treaty by the U.S. Senate, affirmed by Congress, and signed into law.

Limits the Governor's authority to proclaim a public health emergency to seven days without legislative approval; extensions beyond seven days require a two-thirds vote of each house of the state legislature, with each subsequent seven-day extension also requiring legislative approval.

Prohibits the Governor from using a public health emergency proclamation to mandate lockdowns or require business closures, except in cases of biological/chemical weapons attacks or natural disasters with significant toxic contamination or severe health impacts, limited to the affected area and seven days without legislative re-authorization.

Prevents criminal penalties from being imposed by state or county officials against individuals who violate the lockdown and business closure prohibitions.

Defines "international governmental organization" as an organization with member countries that determine its operations, voting, and funding management, including associated agencies and subdivisions.
