Senate committee hears bill to limit executive emergency powers


1:41
A Legislative committee is considering a bill requiring a Governor to call lawmakers into special session, if there is an extended emergency, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill would allow the Legislature to weigh-in on executive orders. Lawmakers would be allowed to meet remotely. Lawmakers would have to be convened after the first 30 days of a declared emergency.
The bill's main sponsor -- Sen. Janne Myrdal (R-Edinburgh) -- told the Senate Judiciary Committee the Legislative branch should be involved in the discussions over responding to an emergency.
"This is not a simple reaction to the current virus, or to the current administration," Myrdal said. "It is not about personalities. It's not about politics, and it's not about power, but rather a direction for the future."
