Legislature may terminate a peacetime emergency declaration in its entirety by majority vote of each house if the emergency is continued for more than 30 days.

Legislature may terminate any subsequent order or rule promulgated by the governor directing a specific response to the peacetime emergency by majority vote of each house.

If the governor determines a need to extend a peacetime emergency declaration beyond 30 days while the legislature is not in session, the governor must immediately convene both houses of the legislature.

Governor's orders and rules terminated by the legislature under this authority no longer have the force and effect of law.

Effective date is the day following final enactment and applies to peacetime emergencies in effect or declared on or after that date.
