Senate Bill 379, which would create processes for the Legislature to end a governor’s declared state of emergency, passed 78-16, with one voting present. The bill by Sen. Kim Hammer, R-Benton, and Rep. Jimmy Gazaway, R-Paragould, has already passed the Senate. Talk Business & Politics reports the bill would limit statewide states of emergency to 60 days unless renewed by the governor, but the Legislative Council could vote to deny the request for renewal. The Legislative Council is a group of lawmakers that meets when the Legislature is not in session.
