Amends existing law to provide that the Governor shall not extend a state of disaster emergency without petitioning the Legislature.
The purpose of this legislation is to limit the government to a single 30 day extension on a declaration of a disaster emergency. Assuming there is a disaster emergency that extends beyond a 60 day time frame, an additional extension of a disaster emergency would only be allowed if the Legislature was called back into session and concurred with an additional extension.
