The bill amends the process for the Governor to issue emergency proclamations, particularly allowing requests from certain political subdivisions without intermediary requirements.

  • 81-829.40

    (j) Issue an emergency proclamation for multiple counties when requested by any political subdivision of the state that supplies electricity, natural gas, water, or sewer service. A political subdivision that supplies electricity, natural gas, water, or sewer service may request an emergency proclamation that covers one or more counties for a disaster, emergency, or civil defense emergency. Such request may be made directly to the Governor without first requesting such emergency proclamation from a county or any other governmental entity.

    This introduces a new provision allowing certain political subdivisions to directly request an emergency proclamation from the Governor.
