CONCORD Two House committees heard testimony Monday on a batch of bills born out of the backlash against Republican Gov. Chris Sununu’s actions during the coronavirus pandemic.
Sununu first declared a state of emergency on March 13, and has renewed the declaration every three weeks since then. During that time, he also has issued more than 80 emergency orders.
The committees held public hearings on 10 bills related to the governor’s authority in both areas.
Under current law, a state of emergency can be terminated by the Legislature if both the House and Senate agree, and one of the proposals would seek to do just that. Another bill would allow just one chamber to make that decision, while others would give lawmakers the authority to terminate individual orders as well.
