From Rep Seabaugh on Lafayette Radio just now...

Evidently there's been a miscommunication between JBE, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House and the Louisiana Republican Delegation...

So you won't have to look it up...

quote:

§724. Powers of the governor

A. The governor is responsible for meeting the dangers to the state and people presented by emergencies or disasters, and in order to effectuate the provisions of this Chapter, the governor may issue executive orders, proclamations, and regulations and amend or rescind them. Executive orders, proclamations, and regulations so issued shall have the force and effect of law.

B.(1) A disaster or emergency, or both, shall be declared by executive order or proclamation of the governor if he finds that a disaster or emergency has occurred or the threat thereof is imminent. The state of disaster or emergency shall continue until the governor finds that the threat of danger has passed or the disaster or emergency has been dealt with to the extent that the emergency conditions no longer exist and terminates the state of disaster or emergency by executive order or proclamation, but no state of disaster or emergency may continue for longer than thirty days unless renewed by the governor.

(2) The legislature, by petition signed by a majority of the surviving members of either house, may terminate a state of disaster or emergency at any time. This petition terminating the state of emergency or disaster may establish a period during which no other declaration of emergency or disaster may be issued. Thereupon, the governor shall issue an executive order or proclamation ending the state of disaster or emergency.

So, say the legislature ends your state of emergency and then a Hurricane comes through. If the legislature says he can't declare a state of emergency for X amount of time, can they also remove that stipulation if an unrelated disaster occurs and there's a need for another state of emergency?

Or can they just terminate it without a timeframe stipulation?

That's probably where there might be a hangup.

The Governor can issue an additional proclamation regarding a separate and/or new Disaster. FEMA has assigned DR-4484 to this Disaster and the petition would be applicable strictly to DR-4484 as a result. The powers to issue additional proclamation regarding new Disasters would not be inhibited.

The GOP Louisiana legislature will never, I repeat, never have the balls to do that.
