Idaho Lawmakers Expand Legislative Power During Emergencies

1:19 The bills separate emergency declarations into two categories: one dealing with wars and enemy attacks and the other dealing with natural disasters. Both would require the legislature to meet and approve any extension of an emergency after 60 days. That excludes any extension of an emergency solely for collecting federal disaster funds. “They require, and I believe Idahoans deserve, that in those moments, the full array of our elected officials, our elected delegates, be brought to Boise to deal with those issues,” said Senate Majority Leader Kelly Anthon (R-Burley). A governor also couldn’t bar people from going to church, limit gatherings or block the manufacturing of firearms and ammunition under the bills.

Idaho Legislature approves bill to curb governor s emergency powers

Idaho Legislature approves bill to curb governor’s emergency powers Hayat Norimine, Idaho Statesman Updated at Share This The Idaho Legislature reconvened Tuesday, April 6, 2021, after a two-week recess due to a COVID-19 outbreak. | Darin Oswald, Idaho Statesman BOISE (Idaho Statesman) Idaho legislators took one step closer to stripping the governor of some emergency powers and placing it in their own hands. Senators on Friday approved a bill that changes Idaho’s State Disaster Preparedness Act to grant more powers to the Legislature. Under the new law, the governor would still be able to declare emergencies and deploy the Idaho National Guard. But after 60 days, any disaster declaration expires unless the Idaho Legislature chooses to extend it with a concurrent resolution. The governor can also extend emergencies beyond 60 days for the “sole purpose” of receiving federal funding or resources for the declared emergency.
