Provides that a disaster emergency affecting 10 or more counties may be extended beyond its initial period, or beyond an extension authorized by the general assembly to a specified date: (1) by not more than 15 days if the general assembly is not in session and the governor does not call the general assembly into session; (2) by not more than 30 days if, during the first fifteen (15) days following the governor's renewal, the general assembly is in session or the governor calls the general assembly into session, but the general assembly does not authorize a renewal of the disaster emergency; or (3) to a specified date fixed by the general assembly, if the general assembly authorizes a renewal of the disaster emergency. Prohibits the governor from declaring a new disaster emergency within 180 days of the termination of a previous disaster emergency if the: (1) new disaster emergency is based on the same or a similar cause as the previous disaster emergency; and (2) the previous disaster emergency was terminated by the general assembly or expired because the general assembly did not reauthorize it. Specifies that, during a special session called to authorize the extension of a disaster emergency, the general assembly may only consider upon issues related to the disaster.
