When Gov. Eric Holcomb decided to end the statewide mask mandate and other COVID-19 restrictions last month, some political observers wondered if he was trying to get ahead of a bill that could limit his emergency powers.

House Bill 1123, which is now on its way to Holcomb s desk, would allow lawmakers to call themselves back into a 40-day session during an emergency, a provision some experts say is unconstitutional. The bill also establishes an emergency advisory group and enables the General Assembly to appropriate discretionary federal funds when the body is in session.
