Powers of the Governor; limited duration of rules, regulations, and orders. Limits the initial duration of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Governor pursuant to his powers under the Emergency Services and Disaster Law to no more than 30 days after the date of issuance.

If the Governor deems it is in the best interest of the Commonwealth for the order to be in effect for more than 90 days, the General Assembly shall be convened to consider and take action on such extension. The bill provides that unless the General Assembly takes action on the rule, regulation, or order within such 90-day period encompassing the initial issuance and any extensions during which the rule, regulation, or order is effective, the Governor shall thereafter be prohibited from issuing the same or a similar rule, regulation, or order relating to the same emergency without the approval of the General Assembly.
